Canoe NOVA CRAFT PROSPECTOR 16.0 BLUE STEEL

Premium class canoe NOVA CRAFT PROSPECTOR 16.0 BLUE STEEL is a two-seater tourist, fishing canoe, which is made of BLUE STEEL material. The main characteristic of this material is the ratio of strength to lightness.

The main advantages of the PROSPECTOR 16.0 BLUE STEEL canoe are its stability, maneuverability and capacity. Perfect for long trips or fishing in rivers and lakes.

The Chestnut Prospector has probably been described more often in text than any other canoe, it’s just that popular. Our version of this venerable craft is faithful to the original. Since 1984, we’ve gone out of our way to continue the tradition so future generations of paddlers can enjoy this icon of Canadian history.

The Workhorse of the Canadian north, our Prospector 16’ feels most at home loaded with gear on a remote wilderness lake or river. While it is best suited for river tripping, it remains versatile enough to be a good all round canoe. With experience, the self-righting aspects of the shallow arch hull will become apparent and confidence levels will soar. Whats more, it provides a very dry ride in big waves and whitewater. It is simply the best all round wilderness tripping canoe available.

Made in Canada.

Characteristics:

· Symmetrical Hull
· Shallow Arch Bottom
· Moderate Rocker with Raised Ends

Blue Steel

• Blue Steel is an aramid and carbon fibre hybrid material. These canoes are light like our Aramid Lite boats but are significantly stronger. Not only is the look of carbon fiber cloth very appealing but the carbon fibers add stiffness to the hull to increase paddling efficiency. Adding an inner layer of Innegra and infusing these hulls with high impact resistant vinylester resin makes a very rugged canoe. Blue Steel canoes are most at home in flatwater scenarios but have been proven very reliable on long Arctic river expeditions as well.
