Nova Craft Prospector 15 Tuff Stuff
A flat water touring boat without the extra volume, with its shallow curved hull the Nova Craft Prospector 15 gives great initial stability for both the new and experienced paddler. The slight rocker gives the boat great agility meaning it's a great all rounder, great for taking you, a friend and your picnic lunch or your pet out for the day around the coast or on flat water rivers, but it's also at home running through white water rapids. With nice high sides from front to back will deflect water giving a drier ride than other canoes even on bigger waves and rapids. With a symmetrical design front to back this boat is easy to paddle as both solo or as a tandem crew. This boat has plenty of room for 2 paddlers and some kit for an overnight camp etc, although if you wanted a boat so you can go on longer trips we would recommend the Nova Craft Prospector 16 or Nova Craft Prospector 17.
The Nova Craft Prospector 15 is available in three different materials/construction:
TuffStuff
TuffStuff is a composite material made of basalt and Innegra fibers. 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 paddlers looking for a light canoe thats tough enough to last - the perfect replacement for Royalex.
TuffStuff Expedition
TuffStuff Exp is a robust heavier duty version of the standard TuffStuff construction. These canoes are an excellent choice for an expedition grade canoe for extended trips and occasional lower-grade whitewater use. Stiff for great performance, incredible impact resistance and lightweight all in one canoe.
SP3
SP3 is a very strong and durable roto-moulded triple layer polyethylene plastic construction. SP3 is perfect for everyone from occasional paddlers to busy hire centres and clubs. Click here to see more details of the Nova Craft Prospector 15 in SP3.
TuffStuff Composite Open Canoes are lightweight, making them easy to carry and portage.
