Lightweight Canoes

[mrlynn]

My wife and I are getting to the point where lifting the 75-pound, 15' aluminum canoe to the top of the car (never mind the van, which required stepstools) is a strain. She has a bad back, and mine ain't much better.

I hear there are ultra-light canoes now available, made from composites or kevlar or something, that could make lifting a lot easier.

Any suggestions as to brands, types, etc.?
