Nova Craft Pal 16 - Green

Nova Craft Pal 16 - TuffStuff

Lightweight Touring Canoe

The Nova Craft Pal 16, another Chestnut Canoe classic. The original design was so popular it was renamed to “Pal” to reflect the affection owners felt towards the canoe whilst and after using it. Nova Craft have painstakingly reproduced the original lines to bring you one of the best general purpose traditional canoes ever made. Suited for flat water trips and short outings for sightseeing or fishing, the Nova Craft Pal is stable, and can handle rougher conditions well including being comfortable in windy conditions too. The Pal is a joy to paddle solo or tandem, and once you've paddle one you will know why owners refer to it as “My Pal”.

This classic model has such universal appeal that it is a picture of optimum general purpose canoe. With such a slight rocker and low free board the Pal will cope with breezy conditions better than other canoes, but can result in a slightly wetter ride. Tracking lovely in a straight line the Pal 16 is better suited to larger open water bodies or longer journeys rather than twisting narrow rivers.

Available in a range of amazing lightweight composite materials, the most popular being TuffStuff, a fabric of basalt and Innegra fibers infused with a high impact vinylester resin, this offers an outstanding strength to weight and is tough enough to withstand general paddling. Finished with a gel coat the Pal has an outstanding glossy finish.
