More Details

The Nova Craft Bob Special 15 lightweight open canoe is well suited to solo tripping as well as tandem paddling. The Bob Special is very stable due to its slightly wider width but thanks to its brilliant hull design it's still well optimized for performance, this results in a canoe that is remarkably fast for its stability.

The Bob Special is ideally suited for tandem use on short day trips but with enough room and carry capacity to squeeze in the gear needed for the odd overnighter. It really shines when paddled solo by a competent paddler, so perfect for those wanting a canoe they can solo but still take out another person from time to time. This lightweight canoel is easy to paddle and thanks to its great stability it is as popular with newer novice paddlers as it is seasoned pros.

The Bob Special comes in a choice of two materials, Tuffstuff or Fibreglass.

Tuffstuff is Nova Crafts propitiatory  lightweight cutting edge composite made of basalt and Innegra fibres. Basalt fibre is made of melted basalt rock and Innegra is a fibre consisting mostly of polypropylene. When they are woven together into a cloth and infused with high impact vinylester resin, the result is simply amazing! TuffStuff canoes are a great choice for paddlers looking for a lightweight canoe with more than enough strength to handle plenty of thorough use.

Nova Craft Fibreglass Canoes are made from the highest quality woven fibreglass cloth. They are almost as light as the Tuffstuff version but not as tough. They are however cheaper!  Fibreglass construction is ideal if you are using your canoe in less demanding circumstances but still need a lightweight construction for ease of portage, car transport etc.

The Nova Craft Bob Special is ideal for paddlers looking for a canoe to use on lakes, rivers and broads that is light enough to portage comfortably and will not make car topping a hassle.
