Nova Craft Prospector 16 fibreglass
Manufactured in Canada, the Nova Craft Prospector 16 is probably the most versatile size of Prospector in the range, and this model has been built from a fibreglass laminate. Fibreglass provides a good option for looking for a lightweight Prospector and works out at less cost than more expensive/advanced materials. Although fiberglass is both strong and light, it won’t have the same impact resistance of other Prospectors but is more than suitable for use on calm and flat-water paddling.
As with all 16ft Prospectors, the Nova Craft Prospector 16 can be paddled by one person, or by two people and can also be loaded up with kit for extended days out, or overnight camping trips when required. Fort those looking to tackle white-water and want a more robust canoe, that will require little or no maintenance then the Nova Craft Prospector 16 is available in Nova Craft's tough and durable SP3 Material. This tough SP3 plastic material is much heavier than fibreglass but can stand up too much more use, knocks and bumps, which are often encountered during paddling sessions at hire centres and outdoor providers.
The classic Prospector hull design has proved to be very successful over many decades due to it coping well on a variety of different waters. With forgiving lines, strong stability and a moderate rocker, the Prospector is perfect for overnight camping adventures on slow-moving rivers and also for day trips on local canals, lochs or lakes.
