The Bob special is a brilliant 15 foot touring canoe which is excellent for solo and tandem paddling.The extra length on the Bob special compared to other solo canoes like the Trapper 12, really allows the paddler to gain more speed and distance whilst remaining slick and smooth through the water.

 

Due to the brilliant light weight Tuffstuff construction the 15ft canoe weighs in at an incredibly light 22.5kg, this makes the Bob special light on and off the water. Alongside the weight of the boat, the length and the waterline, the boats hull makes for a faster and more stable paddle, ideal for longer journeys.

 

Due to the low gunnels, wider beam and shallow arch hull the Bob special is great when paddling on an edge. The shape of the boat not only ensures stability and speed, but allows for a big load capacity for those longer camping trips, whether you are paddling solo or tandem.

 

Similar to the Trapper 12 and other canoes in the Nova craft range, the Bob special includes Cane seats, Ash carry handles and a well-designed yoke made for a perfect shoulder fit for comfortable portages.
