Abitibi Canoe

Enthusiastic about Wooden Canoes
Hello,
I was looking at a canoe that is for sale. Seller said it was an 12' Abitibi. Can anyone enlighten me on this brand canoe?
Thanks!

There is a company in Rouyn-Noranda, QC called Fibres de verre Abitibi Ltée., that makes fiberglass boats. They had a line of cedar canvas canoes for a few years in the 1980s, about 1985-88. The forms were then sold to amerindians in Wemindji, QC who manufactured canoes for one more year or so.

I own and have restored a 16' Abitibi canoe. I got the above information through a phone call to the company after googling them up.

Hope this helps,

Martin
