Nova Craft Bob Special 15

Versatile Solo/Tandem Day Tripper

The Nova Craft Bob Special is an improved version of the Chestnut Canoe Company Original and is a very lightweight canoe well suited to solo tripping and casual tandem paddling. Available in a number of composite hull constructions, with Fibreglass weighing 25.4 kg and TuffStuff weighing just 22.7 kg! The weight makes car topping easy, and it is a joy to portage to the water or between watercourses on long expeditions. The carrying Yoke has a small notch to accommodate your neck vertebrae when solo portaging, this is just one example of the attention to detail in this high-quality build.

The optimised hull shape, and width of the canoe, makes the Bob Special a stable but relatively fast boat. It is ideal for recreational touring and quiet stalking up river creeks and on lakes. The Bob Special is a fantastic tandem day tripper, with enough space to load up for a weekend on the water or even multi-day trips exploring further afield. It is stable enough for beginners, but its edging ability also means that when a competent paddler gives it a go, the boat comes into its own and shines. You can be confident paddling the Bob Special on tranquil lakes or down rapids, which will get your adrenaline pumping.

The Bob Special is a canoe that has a unique set of features which make it an enjoyable boat for new and experienced paddlers alike.
