Dagger Caption?

Advice
#1

I hope someone can give me a hand here. I have a Dagger WW Canoe, red, 14’6" long with a lot of rocker(slightly more in front). There’s no name associated with it other than Dagger. It handles great, turns well and is clearly a whitewater boat. Any idea as to what I have?



I thought Caption, but I think the Caption is 14’ long. Encore? I just don’t know.



Thanks,



James

Might well be an Encore. What’s the
beam? There was an earlier tandem, the Caper, but I don’t know the Caper’s length offhand.

Caper cited at 14’ 4". Close enough for
government work.

Small, highly manueverable tandem, could handle class III with ease, and some class IV in the hands of 2 experienced paddlers.

He could get the HIN and pursue it
that way, but I think I can tell a Caption from a Caper without measuring for the 4" length difference. The Caper I watched being run tandem on the Nolichucky at 2200 cfs had a definite pivot bulge in the central area, similar to the Encore. Captions are a bit narrower, have lots of rocker, but no pivot bulge.
