In Depth

Welcome to the H C K A !
We are a group interested in the heritage of canoeing in all its aspects- Types of boat and how they were used around the world, notable canoeists and their exploits, past competition under paddle and sail, manufacturers, construction and restoration, museums and literature.
We organise occasional meetings for paddling (chatting) and camping and produce a quarterly journal which is a mine of information on world canoeing heritage. Members can also advise on aspects of boat renovation.
Contact us for an info. leaflet and follow the links into a fascinating world which shaped today’s sport and expedition..........
