Nova Craft Prospector - Blue Steel
The Nova Craft Prospector Range In Blue Steel Laminate Super Lightweight Construction. The Nova Craft prospector Range is a superb range of canoes for anyone looking for a either a solo in the Prospector 14 or a combination of solo and tandem paddling in the Prospector 15 or 16. Thanks to the lightweight Blue Steel Construction these canoes are incredibly easy to pick up, get on and off the car roofrack and even portage off the water. Nova Craft have given the Prospectors a great amount of rocker meaning it is nimble and quick to respond, as well as being easy to paddle and very controllable. Constructed from one of Nova Craft's lightest weight laminate materials in Blue Steel, this Prospector range is now not only extremely light, but also still amazingly resilient when flat water paddling.
Comfort is never an issue in any Nova Craft canoe, there are outfitted with ash wood work and bootlace seats as standard to allow for maximum comfort. The carrying yoke on all tandem prospectors is contoured which makes portaging a much easier experience, for the Prospector 14 solo open canoe you are able to custom order a removable carry yoke as an optional extra. The built-in buoyancy tanks front and rear offer enough buoyancy for flat water paddling, so if you do happen to capsize your Prospector - Blue Steel, you don't have to worry too much.
The Nova Craft Prospector 14, 15 & 16 lightweight canoes, are available with any option extras that Nova Craft offer, such as factory fitted kneeling thwart, factory fitted colour matched skid plates, wooden gunwales and 2 tone colour schemes.
