	Orca Review
		Royalex had benefits of lighter weight and panel stiffness, so we tested it further, while starting the CAD drawings for a possible design.
		The Royalex "seems to be very good, being not only strong and light, but also unaffected by heat.
		There appeared to be no hull deformation from the [Royalex] bulkheads." The joint between the hull and deck has an overlap about an inch wide and is sealed with caulk.

		Royalex and R-84 is a thermoplastic laminate manufactured by Spartech.
		It consists of a foam center core, sandwiched between two solid ABS substrate layers, which are covered by vinyl or R-84 skins to protect the ABS substrate from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
		The only difference between Royalex and R84 Royalite is that the exterior vinyl skin is replaced with R84 skin and the exterior substrate is thinner.

		If you do see a corresponding crease or dent on the inside then the foam core of the Royalex material is damaged and is worth repairing.

	Canoe Colorado's Canoe Reviews: We-no-nah Rendezvous 15'10" solo wilderness tripping canoe
		The Royalex Rendezvous was one of the first Royalex canoes produced by We-no-nah.
		Royalex cannot be molded with the fine entry lines of the composite, and so the Royalex version is slightly slower on calm water.
		The Royalex version is about 1/2 mph slower than the composite for cruising, and 1+ mph slower max speed.

		The Explorer 16' Royalex blends capacity, durability, maneuverability and stability for superior mixed-water performance with a tough material more than capable of taking a bump without getting bruised.
		With almost identical lines to the classic Royalex edition, the Triple Tough Explorer 16 offers great stability in rough conditions, handles well loaded and tracks well.
		If you are new to canoeing or need an inexpensive second canoe that compares quite well with the performance of a more expensive canoe the Explorer 16 TT is a great choice.

		This is supposed to prevent the Royalex from cold-cracking when the temperature drops.
		Royalex canoes, and until recently, I never had a problem.
		Since the hull shortens as the Royalex shrinks, it would seem that routing a slot through the screw holes (parallel to the keel) should work even better than enlarging the holes.

	Product Reviews - Canoes and Kayaks
		The royalex did oilcan and flex a bit (nowhere near as stiff as Mad Rivers royalex layup) but it also survived a broach on a rock.
		The reason I mention this is the dark olive royalex has a propensity to absorb sunlight, making the olive royalex very hot and uncomfortable in the summertime.
		The hull is stiff and has a fine entry for a royalex boat and it a paddles with little effort.The boat weighs in at 61 lbs.

	Wenonah Competition Canoes, 17 Sundowner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Though not quite as efficient as our composite types, the Royalex 17' Sundowner paddles so well that it is often raced in challenging conditions such as shallow, rocky streams and rivers.
		It is so efficient in fact, that this design is often used as a "class" canoe, where race organizers use the 17 Sundowner as the only canoe design permitted in the class, or as the baseline for judging other designs and hulls.
		When you are not racing, the Royalex 17' Sundowner is a fast, efficient touring canoe for an evening's paddle after work, or a short camping trip on local rivers and lakes.

		The royalex is deeper and the tumblehome is more pronounced.
		You can't mold the same lines in Royalex that you layup in cloth, so the boats are different.
		Actually, the deeper depth of the Royalex would be an advantage on the upper Missinaibi.

		Royalex (i.e.: ABS) is a great canoe material.
		Royalex canoes with wooden gunwales are pretty and I believe in some respects more resilient that the same model with aluminum gunwales.

	Adirondack - Royalex - 16' by Wenonah Canoe from Michigan Snowshoe Center
		Designed for the smaller rivers and lakes of the Northeast, the Adirondack is ideal for that region, and it has attractions that make it popular everywhere.
		A 16'-long hull, if very well designed, can be at the threshold of having good speed and glide in the absolute sense (rather than just compared to other 16' models), and this is definitely a performance-oriented canoe among medium-short designs.
		It combines the durability of Royalex with paddling ease not found in any aluminum hull, and rarely in a plastic one.
