Dark Side Canoes

 

The Darkness Duet C2 is a two person manifestation of the The Darkness C1 and is positioned as a British alternative to the Wenonah ICF C2. It is developed, designed and manufactured in Great Britain from Carbon fibre and Kevlar, making it very strong, light and incredibly good looking! The slim hull design delivers exceptional speed and a zero rocker along the keel line enables outstanding directional stability in a straight line. The boat was designed with the Devizes to Westminster International canoe race in mind. It was race tested in 2016 and finished in 21 hours 20 minutes in twelve place out of 140 boats.

Marsport – The big little company!

Marsport – The big little company!

With our global reputation for boat design and manufacture, combined with our busy and successful reading shop – you may be surprised to find out we’re still run by a relatively small team of staff. Marsport was established back in 1981 and for over 35 years, Paul Ralph and Cherry Bapty built it from humble beginnings to a company with a world wide reputation.

In early 2016, Paul and Cherry stepped down as directors to take a well earned retirement, but still come back to help out with events, holiday cover and to design the occasional boat for us. Craig Hill is our MD and has been with the shop for so long he’s practically been adopted. He started paddling with Adventure Dolphin in 1987 and is qualified in kayak, canoe, sprint/marathon racing, whitewater racing. www.marsport.co.uk

During the summer the riverside terrace offers outdoor eating, socialising and a relaxing area to escape and watch the river go by. The Angel on the Bridge is a popular place during the day and evening, business luncheons, coffee break or just a quiet drink to escape from the shopping!

Our new mooring allows room for up to two boats to call in and have a bite to eat. An idyllic location for walkers and cyclists taking on the tow path along the Thames, simply cross over the Bridge if walking from Marlow or cross over at Marsh Locks if walking from Shiplake. www.theangelhenley.com
