Fritz Hansen

"[The HS-6] is a 20+ year old design, based on a Corbin and the V-1.  The idea was to make it like a Corbin but not as tippy, so new people could get in a race boat and not go for a swim.  Basically took the hard chine and rounded it.  The mold is in Minnesota.

Very stable (good for beginners).  Very good in shallows.  Has good straight-line speed.  Trim the canoe bow light.  It has less chine, slightly harder to turn.  Widest point is 9" behind center."
