Designed especially to maneuver easily, carry ample gear and run dry through lesser whitewater, such as rapids and riffles that are common on small winding rivers. Yet you'll be pleased with its performance on the lakes, as well. This Prospector is one-foot shorter and slightly wider than our Prospector 16. It has a steeply rockered hull for extreme maneuverability, extra depth for confidence, and plenty of stability.
This boat does it all. A tandem canoe designed to perform well in whitewater and flatwater. Suitable for extended trips and up to class III whitewater. With deep ends and slight rocker, this boat paddles effortlessly loaded or unloaded. Can also be paddled solo.
A stable canoe with excellent maneuverability in smaller streams; popular with fishermen.
Whether you plan to portage for weeks on end or just paddle around the lake by the cottage, the Prospector may be the only canoe you’ll ever want. An incredibly well rounded canoe, it has a symmetrical hull that provides the stability necessary for a novice, but also creates the feel that experienced canoeists love. The entry lines have been extended to improve speed, and the keel has been removed for extra manoeuvrability. Great for white water and lake tripping alike, we think it’s one of the most versatile you’ll find.
The 15 is the choice of fishers and hunters, a perfect back-country boat. The flared Hull and moulded Spray Rail significantly improves its seaworthiness. The slight V-Hull design provides exceptional stability and a tracking quality that is not typical of shorter symmetrical canoes. The slight V also allows this shorter canoe to slice through chop with the efficiency of a longer hull. The moderate rocker and shorter length allow nimble movement and quick pivoting when the need arises.
One of the most outstanding wild rivers in Canada is the namesake for Nova Craft’s new expedition canoe, the Moisie. It’s an incredible tripping canoe for modern day explorers who want to tackle whitewater with big waves and deep holes. The symmetrical shape, deep hull, large volume ends and 4” of rocker makes for lots of maneuverability and a dry ride in the big stuff.
With a shape similar to the Nitro but longer, the Blast allows expert partners to negotiate the most extreme rapids, waterfalls, and enter the tiniest of eddy pools. It has become a boat of choice for slalom paddlers. The Blast can be paddled solo too. Ideal for larger paddlers, or big volume rivers, the Blast remains a high-performance canoe.
The Vertige X was conceived for tandem paddlers looking for a special niche of Whitewater playboat. It is a lengthened and modified version of our popular Vertige. As a tandem, it is an efficient and easy-tracking craft that is more easily mastered than our more radical Blast. It is available with a 3 position saddle and transforms to an efficient solo.
A slalom racing, river running canoe with a flattish shallow arch like the Howler. Faster, with more control. It's also extremely dry paddled solo.
Flattened shallow arch hull. Asymmetric rocker, more in the stern. Extremely rocker. Great for solo or tandem use.
Leading pro paddlers use the V1-Pro for its speed and ability to maintain and keep a "pop" in shallow water. Pro boats are usually fully or partially decked with fabric covers to keep water out of the hull. And they often build V1s with special options such as bow bailers for the demanding conditions of pro racing.
For many mixed teams, adult / youth paddlers, and teams of different sizes, the difference between a good canoe and the right canoe is the difference between winning and losing. For these paddlers, it's essential that they can easily trim the canoe so it responds quickly and effortlessly to their paddle strokes. They can't afford to be fighting a canoe that handles poorly. That's why we build the V1-A with a "whale-tail." This allows the stern paddler to be farther back in the canoe, properly trimming and balancing the hull for maximum performance. For paddlers that have a variety of partners, it's possible to rig our mixer to change between a men's and a mixed set-up.
