A classic Prospector is on of best all-around wilderness tripping canoes ever built. This extended length version is often seen on expeditions in the Yukon and Canadian Arctic, where seamless transitions from lake to river paddling are essential. On flat water, it tracks well and delivers good hull speed. In whitewater, the rockered keel allows agile maneuvering while the high volume ends keep waves on the outside. A high capacity hull makes it exceptionally seaworthy and holds several weeks of supplies.
- Fibreglass hull is made with woven cloth rather than chopped strand mat, for greater lightness and strength at an affordable price. Nova Craft’s fibreglass lay-ups are among the lightest and most rugged on the market
- Gunwales are straight grained ash, fastened with stainless steel screws
- Seats and thwarts are ash
- Shoe keel for improved straight line performance
- Custom cut decks and contoured carrying handles
- Fittings have a hand-rubbed oil finish
