Nova Craft Prospector 15 - Tuffstuff

The Prospector 15 from Novacraft is an ideal canoe for paddlers of any ability level who are looking for a classically shaped boat, for solo and/ or tandem paddling on flat water rivers, lakes and estuaries as well as whitewater rivers.

The Prospector 15 is a very versatile canoe that is easy to control, it features a shallow arch hull which allows for easy and efficient forward paddling; this results in an increase in hull speed for those long flat sections and makes touring easy. The shallow arch hull also makes the Prospector 15 very stable, and this combined with a moderate rocker makes it easy to steer and manouver in windy conditions and on moving water.

With a symmetrical hull design, the Prospector 15 can be paddled solo or tandem in either direction,It also has enough space for some kit and would be great for an overnight paddling trip for two people.

The Prospector 15 has all the traditional features you would expect to see on a canoe of this quality, including wood/ web seats, ash carry handles and an expertly designed yoke that has been shaped to fit your shoulders perfectly allowing for maximum comfort for long portages.

The Novacraft Prospector 15 is currently also available in SP3 plastic construction, for further details see the Nova Craft Prospector 15 - SP3.

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

SP3 - Plastic

SP3 canoe hulls are made by roto-molding three layers of superlinear polyethylene powder. The two outer layers are solid and the middle layer is foam. These canoes are extremely strong and are an excellent choice for general recreational, white water and touring use.

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.

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.
