Nova Craft PAL 16
The Novacraft Pal 16 is one of the best multi purpose canoes on the market, beautifully finished and constructed as standard in Nova Crafts Tuffstuff material it is lightweight, balanced and a pleasure to paddle.
The Pal 16 has something to offer all levels of paddler, from beginner to advanced, and is ideally suited to day tripping on flat water but can also take on simple sections of moving water. The Pal's symmetrical hull allows it to be paddled efficiently either tandem or solo and in either direction, and its long waterline helps to maintain direction and hull speed with ease. The slight rocker and raised ends aid turning and manouvering and thanks to its slightly lower freeboard, the Pal excels across the wind whilst the slight tumblehome helps to keep you dry.
The Pal has plenty of space on board for either an extra seat, kneeling thwart to help with paddling solo or any kit you may want to carry for overnight trips.
The Pal 16 has all the traditional features you would expect to see on a canoe of this quality, including cane seats, ash carry handles, thwart and an expertly designed yoke that has been shaped to fit your shoulders perfectly allowing for maximum comfort for long portages.
The Pal 16 is currently available in Novacraft’s Tuffstuff construction.

Standard Options
Tuffstuff
Nova Craft Canoes have introduced a new super lightweight material to the market place in the wake of the discontinuation of Royalex. Nova Craft Tuffstuff canoes are made from a blend of basalt and Innegra fibres. Basalt fibres are made of melted volcanic basalt rock and Innegra is a fibre consisting mostly of polypropylene. These are then woven together into a cloth and mixed with high impact vinylester resin, the result is that Nova Craft TuffStuff canoes are amongst the strongest and most versatile on the mark today. Nova Craft TuffStuff canoes are a great choice for paddlers looking for a light weight canoe for use on extended flatwater trips and slow moving deep rivers
Tuffstuff Expedition
Nova Craft Tuffstuff Expedition canoes are a heavier duty version of the standard Nova Craft TuffStuff construction. Nova Craft Tuffstuff Expedition canoes are more robust and stiffer offering greater performance and incredible impact resistance. Nova Craft Tuffstuff expedition canoes are an excellent choice for paddlers looking for a light weight boat for extended wilderness trips, flat water sections and deep lower grade moving water.
Available to order - Please call or email for availability and pricing
Fibreglass – Fibreglass canoes are made using woven layers for fibreglass cloth laid out over a mould that sets into place. Fibreglass canoes are very light weight and durable and are a great choice for long distance touring or racing paddlers.
Aramid Lite
Aramid canoes are the lightest boats in the Novercraft range. They are built by infusing Aramid cloth with a high impact resistant vinylester resin. Aramid canoes have great strength to weight ratio. Aramid canoes are intended for flat water touring, racing and expedition use.
Blue Steel
Blue Steel canoes are made of an aramid and carbon fibre hybrid material. These canoes are light weight like the canoes made of Aramid Lite but are significantly stronger. The carbon fibers add stiffness to the hull resulting in an increase in paddling efficiency. Blue Steel has an inner layer of Innegra creating a high impact resistant vinylester resin makes for a very rugged canoe. Blue Steel canoes are most at home on flatwater and the look of the carbon fiber is stunning.
