Nova Craft Prospector 14
A Lightweight 14ft Solo Canadian Canoe
The Nova Craft Prospector 14 open canoe is ideal whether you want to head out for a few hours ambling down your local waterway or are planning week long trips away. It paddles superbly well as an unloaded Canoe but really comes into its own when loaded up for a longer trip.
The shallow hull mean this boat is great to learn single blade paddling skills and to gain experience as well as build confidence, with all the performance that seasoned experts will cherish. Relatively high sides throughout will help to give a drier ride, deflecting the water when cutting through waves and rapids. At 14 foot long and weighing just 20kg unloaded this is an easy Canoe to handle both on and off the water.
The Prospector 14 Tuffstuff build benefits from the sleek outer coating provided by a gel coat outer layer. If solo multi-day camping trips with portage sections, like the Caledonian Canal Challenge, appeal to you then this is a great choice to go for. It is very much at home fully loaded paddling open waters however the high sides and great stability do make it a great river runner too!
The TuffStuff range has proved to be very popular over the years so we now offer an extensive range. As well as the Prospector 14 solo TuffStuff Canoe we can supply all of the tandem Prospector models which can be paddled solo or tandem. These tandem models start with the Nova Craft Prospector 15 - Tuffstuff.
