More Details

The Nova Craft Prospector 17 TuffStuff lightweight open canoe is a large capacity canoe that is ideal for both fully loaded expedition paddling or for families looking for added space to add additional seats. 

The all-round style of design is suitable for recreational paddlers looking to just get out on the water for the day and for more experienced paddlers looking to do multi-day expedition style paddling trips.

The Nova Craft Prospector 17 is a copy taken from the original Chestnut Canoes Prospector design of the early 1920's. It has the traditional upswept bow & stern as well as a higher than normal freeboard help to keep you dry in rough conditions. A moderate rocker helps to increase the manoeuvrability without sacrificing straight line tracking and smooth rounded hull flattening towards the mid-hull section gives a real feel of stability. The nova Craft Prospector 17 is a truly great all round design that is a superbly popular choice for so many paddlers.

Constructed from one of the lightest weight materials on the open canoe market TuffStuff, which is a combination of basalt and Innegra fibres. Basalt fibres are made from melted basalt rock and Innegra is a fibre consisting mainly of polypropylene. When they are woven together into a cloth material then infused with Nova Crafts high impact vinylester resin, the result is simple. A lightweight TuffStuff! 

These 17ft open canoes are a perfect choice for paddlers looking for a lightweight large capacity open canoe with more than enough strength to handle plenty of use either on expeditions or with all the family.
