Notes from Dr. Borkosky

Length: 15' 6" Rocker: Bow 3" Stern 2" Width: Gunwale width - 32.5", bell canoe. As to questions about which layup the O.P. "14' Long x 26" Wide x 14" Deep26" @ 3" Waterline 30" @ Max. The boat is priced at $850 and new the MSRP is $1200. If I could give this boat an 11, I would. It was made in 2001 and is in exceptional condition- just a few scratches on the bottom- not the usual dozens you would normally see. The MorningStar tracks quite well and I don't think you could swamp it without trying really, really hard. Cash and carry. I was led to believe this Bell Canoe Works an early Royalex model (original owners claimed purchased in 2001) and I was getting a deal.

are you sure it won’t meet your needs? This being my first canoe, I had a lot to learn about solo paddling. In my little fleet it would be hard to let this one go if I had to downsize. The low seats make for a very stable ride, and it's low profile makes it easy to handle in strong winds. I am not the greatest of swimmers so I have a little water fear. It has a smooth, stealthy glide to it and it maneuvers quite easily, resulting in very predictable overall handling. Its not for whitewater but gravel won’t kill it. All of the White Gold and Black Gold Bells I have seen have had a Kevlar-colored interior, sometimes with the multi-colored Bell “tweed” or regular aramid, depending on year of construction. I met a guy their who had a adirondack, and several other boats, he went with me in my canoe and showed me the proper way to jstroke and other strokes.

Okay, I hadn’t seen that before.

The bow seat slides to and fro to help trim canoe accurately. Just weighed it again and it said 41, so I'm not sure which is closer. However, the tandem part didn't work out well as my wife would rarely go. Even if you don’t want to fix it up any, you may be able to trade for a royalex boat. They are filled by squeegeing the thicker resin used in the first blanket into the voids.

Stability - 9.

I recommend a thin pad, and all the problems go away. The stability is what I consider very good. It was made in 2001 and is in exceptional condition- just a few scratches on the bottom- not the usual dozens you would normally see. Length: 15'Width at waterline: 25.5"Weight: 31 lbsGreat solo canoe, ideal for an intermediate to advanced canoeist who likes to kneel on the canoe floor when paddling. Carbon is hydrophobic and bonds with resin so presents fewer leak issues. Most canoes under 16' do not pole well. So, I ordered this boat from REI and two days later I found a used (but in great shape) Bell Morningstar. it's been hanging in the barn for all that time. The Morningstar is paddled solo with the canoe heeled over and the paddler kneeling (I have a kneeling thwart). Kudos to Bell on the perfect all-around trekking boat.

Excellent for families - VERYSTABLE - or tripping with lots of gear.Pet friendly! If you want a boat that excels at both solo and tandem, this one would be hard to beat. Wh, This is an immaculate, beautiful, 15-foot hand-laid fiberglass decked canoe built by Bell Canoe Works (which now is called Northstar Canoes)--it's their "Rob Roy" model. I've had my Morningstar only about four months but while the lakes were ice free I enjoyed it greatly. . The very large cockpit m, * * Perfect for Adirondack Paddlers...Original BELL Canoe Works model.David Yost Design"Nothing paddles like a BELL. Very nice Bell Canoes Merlin II solo canoe. Even with myself and my 8yo nephew, I can paddle straight and makes all kinds of turns without issue. It is a shame they are not in production anymore, if you can find a good copy get it, you won't regret it. How much did you pay for it? .and as a tandem she's probably the most manuverable boat available. On a great hull that looks like it could be shined up with a little tlc and elbow grease. Royalex - 59 lbs. Carbon is hydrophobic and bonds with resin so presents fewer leak issues.

The MorningStar seems to glide right over the water with nary a ripple.

I wasn't surprised to find out that she felt very secure in the Morning Star. I'm 68 years old now and I wanted something with a little more stability, so I bought a Wehnonah (Kevlar) Fisherman that is wider and has a flat bottom which has given me the stability I wanted. Overall rating 9 out of 10. Remove the center seat and reinstall the carrying yoke for tandem use. I think the Morning Star is a perfect canoe for any couple that likes to paddle day trips on quiet water. Has 3 cane seats and oak trim. A few weeks ago my parents borrowed our much loved canoe to paddle the Hillsborough River. Read and submit reviews for the MorningStar. I recommend it to anyone looking for a safe choice in a versatile canoe.

Too bad the old Bell Canoe Works website finally got shut down. I know wenonah makes really good canoes, but the finish on the bell is much nicer. No foam core in the three black gold Bells that I own, though there is a similar diamond pattern of cloth reinforcement. Start by laying in a resin rich initial blanket. In doing this I had the luxury of not having a destination, just paddling around for the fun of it. In terms of the specific Bell layup (fiberlar vs. kevlar), what year was it manufactured? at three+ times the price, that would sell in the twin cities over the weekend. I've received a lot of compliments on how the color is "different" without being garish in a natural setting. 15%-20% (We are giving extremely generous discounts on new 2020 Northstar Canoes. and found a morningstar at Mr canoes paddle sports, in N.Calif.Tom gave me a great deal on the boat paddles pfds etc.
