Silverbirch Covert 9.3 - Hydrolite

In development nothing was off limits and nothing was pre-set – we simply sat down in our shaping bay with a blank piece of paper and one simple brief – To create the fastest, most manoeuvrable, and most predictable Open Canoe possible.
At the core of this philosophy is our stepped rocker profile. The step in the tail ensures a clean release of water from the stern, which not only reduces drag, but also helps to reduce the tendency for the tail to bog down on boily eddy lines or when getting bounced around by large lateral waves. The sidewall profile of the boat is also continually curved. This helps boost secondary stability and is
carefully angled to keep the waterline width to a minimum.
As the Covert is made just to slide, spin, grind, boof, and surf its way down the river we have searched the globe for the best materials to build it from. Every boat is built in-house by a dedicated team of paddlers, using a custom grade of super tough highdensity polyethylene.

Specs:
Length: 282cm / 9.3ft
Width: 73.5cm / 29.25”
Depth: 38.1cm / 15”
DuraLITE: 21.5kg / 47lbs
Rocker: Flared bow and stepped stern
Outfitting: Factory-installed saddle, deck lines, customization kit supplied.
Optimum weight range: 70kg (145lbs) – 110kg (240lbs)

The outer skin is made with an incredibly stiff and tough whitewater grade plastic – the best we can find, the foam has been optimized to have a lower density, giving us a thicker core than that used in Duracore, and the material distribution between the layers has been optimised to make the most of the superior materials.
The result? Stiffer, lighter, and yet just as durable!
The noticeable weight saving over our Duracore laminate puts many models made with Duralite into close competition with more expensive canoes produced with composite or royalex construction methods.
