Koru LE
This year, Old Town celebrates its 110th year of fine boatbuilding with a very special, limited-edition Koru. The Koru LE combines the remarkable hull design of our Advanced Composite Koru with the traditional, hand craftsmanship only Old Town can provide. From the graceful lines of the wood gunwales to the mahogany/ash decks and thwarts, the LE's woodwork is nothing short of spectacular. Even the exterior hull finish blends tradition with innovation, incorporating a popular 1919 paint design directly into the gel-coat itself. Each of these boats is a unique work of artisanship, signed and numbered. The Koru LE is limited to 50 watercraft.
