Nova Craft Bob Special
The Nova Craft Bob Special lightweight open canoe is a very popular boat used for both solo and tandem paddling, this makes it perfect for those wanting a versatile canoe. It combines a variety of features to produce a very well-mannered, easy to paddle day tripping canoe, at only 15ft and being lightweight it is easy to car top and portage. Available in 2 lightweight durable constructions, in fibreglass this canoe weighs only 26.3kgs which makes it an very easy 2 person lift or as a solo lift makes it simple enough, in the TuffStuff construction the Bob Special is a light 22.7kgs which is no problems for solo or tandem lifting.
Perfect for the variety of rivers around the Norfolk Broads, the Nova Craft Bob Special will be just as at home crossing open water on larger broads as it will be weaving its way down one of our narrower meandering rivers. As standard the Bob Special comes fully fitted with 2 comfortable ash wood bootlace seats, a deluxe contoured carrying yoke, bow & stern ash carrying handles as well as front and rear buoyancy tanks already installed which offer enough floatation that should you end up in the water recovery is much easier.
The Bob Special is a great canoe for both beginners and advanced paddlers alike. Those just starting out will appreciate how easy the Bob Special is to handle, with bags of stability and no sudden surprises, feeling light on the water with a great glide. While in the hands of experienced canoeists, the Nova Craft Bob Special is very capable, manoeuvrable and can really move on the water.
TuffStuff Construction - this is real cutting edge laminate construction which uses a basalt fibre that consists of melted basalt rock, along with an innegra fibre which consists of mostly polypropylene. When these 2 are woven together the cloth it creates can then be infused with a high impact vinylester resin system with a gel coat finish. The results of this material really is TuffStuff. TuffStuff brings the weight down and increases the overall durability. While the outer gel coat finish does have the ability to scratch this is only a cosmetic issue most of the time, nothing more. On the odd occasion of a chip it is pretty much always a really a simple job to repair, which can be done at home with a colour match Gel Coat Repair Kit.
For more details on the fibreglass lightweight construction check out the Nova Craft Bob Special - Fibreglass also available from Norfolk Canoes.
