Canoe NOVA CRAFT CRONJE 17.0 BLUE STEEL

Premium class canoe NOVA CRAFT CRONJE 17.0 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 CRONJE 17.0 BLUE STEEL canoe are its stability, maneuverability and capacity. Perfect for long trips or fishing in rivers and lakes.

The Chestnut Canoe Company designed the Cronje to be a fast, reliable canoe for people who have a destination in mind. The design is rich in history and is a very able performer. Our reproduction of this venerable canoe retains both the paddling characteristics and the tradition of the original.

The Cronje is ideally suited to paddlers who want to challenge big, open water by covering distance with ease. Fast lines and excellent tracking make it a joy to use. Cargo capacity isn’t compromised for speed and the canoe handles well both with a load and empty. Its lower profile means less wind drag on the water and lower weight on the portage trail. The Cronje is most at home in landscapes with large open lakes like the famed Boundary Waters or Algonquin Park.

Made in Canada.

Characteristics:

· Symmetrical Hull

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.
