NOVA CRAFT PROSPECTOR 16
The Nova Craft Prospector 16 is based on the original Chestnut Prospector, a true workhorse of the Canadian North. Constructed from lightweight and durable TuffStuff composite, this canoe will stand up to the abuse of many years of paddling yet with a total unladen weight of 25.4kg it is lightweight to handle and easy to solo carry on long portages. For more demanding use, choose the Tuffstuff Expedition construction weighing just a touch more at 27.2kg.
This canoe feels most at home loaded with gear paddling a remote wilderness lake or river. Whilst it's a great recreational boat it's versatile enough to be a good all round canoe. The shallow hull gives a great stability to the boat and with experience your confidence levels will increase. With a carrying weight of 455kg, and plenty of room, there is capacity for two people and enough camping kit for multi-day expeditions but is also great for general tandem day trips. It has to be one of the best all round touring canoes on the market. High sides give you a dry ride through waves and rapids alike by cutting through and deflecting the water. With a symmetrical design front to back this boat is easy to paddle solo or with company, with loads more space for kit!
