[Philly]

I'm converting my H3 to c1 and was wondering where to buy a kit (seat, straps,etc)?

Hi there,



I have recently outfitted my new Pyranha Seven-0 C1 and have used a North Water adjustable canoe saddle for my seat. I'm not sure on cost but I know that the saddle is available from any Pyranha dealer. Although it is designed primarily for OC1 use, it is also perfect for C1s. You would be able to outfit your H3 in exactly the same way as I have my Seven-0 as I used all standard Pyranha parts. Check out my C1 outfitting guide by going to media and then articles on my website (link below).

Straps are a slightly more difficult issue. Most people are now using snowboard style ratchet straps in their C1s but you can use other forms of straps. These include using quick release bucks available from many canoe shops and 50mm webbing. Again these can be fitted without making any further modifications to the boat.



I'm interested to hear how you get on with the H3 as a C1 as I have been toying with the idea for a while. drop me a line and let me know how you get on at
