The 30 year old, fiberglass, Canot du Nord, was on loan to the Canadian Canoe Museum from Paddle Canada for this event.
A clip from CBC's The National June 3, 2012 - Look for PC's Canoe at minute 2:00, described as the "Lone Canoe" paddling alongside a Maori canoe from New Zealand.
Here is the list of the Canada One crew:
Gouvernail/Sternsman: James Raffan, Executive Director, CCM
Avant/Bowsman: Jeremy Ward, Curator, CCM
Engagées/Paddlers:
Pilar Bauta, Board Member, W. Garfield Weston Foundation
Geordie Dalglish, Board Member, W. Garfield Weston Foundation
Terry Guest, Board Member, CCM
Melissa Murdoch, Board Member, W. Garfield Weston Foundation
Laurel Raffan, Volunteer, CCM
Donald Ross, Board Member, CCM
The 80 year old (who was born in a leap year, and so, as James mentioned in his interview on CBC is technically only 20), is Donald Ross.
