Nova Craft Bob Special

The Nova Craft Bob Special is an improved version Chestnut Canoe Company original, a lightweight canoe well suited to solo tripping and casual tandem paddling. Its width and optimized hull shape make a quick but stable boat which is great for recreational touring and quiet stalking. Great as a tandem day tripper, with enough space for a weekend canoe trip. When a competent paddler gives it a go the boat truly shines. The Bob Special has a unique blend of characteristics which make it an enjoyable boat for new and experienced paddlers alike and makes it is one of our best selling lightweight canoes.

Comfortable ash-laced seats compliment the traditional look of this canoe and allow for the paddler to be seated or kneeling down for a traditional paddling technique. Built-in buoyancy tanks at the bow and stern ensure this canoe will stay afloat should it turn over and save sthe need ot buy additional buoyancy.

One of the best options for a paddler wanting a lightweight and versatile canoe for touring.

When they are woven together into a cloth and infused with our high impact vinylester resin system, the result is simply amazing! TuffStuff canoes are a great choice for recreational paddlers looking for a light canoe thats tough enough to withstand general touring and recreational paddling use.
