NOVA CRAFT CANOE MOISIE (D)


www.novacraft.com $1,899 CAD


Nova Craft is proud to launch the new Moisie, their newest dedicated whitewater tripping canoe. The Moisie was created to carry a big load and still handle whitewater with ease. When it comes to whitewater tripping, from side slipping, surfing waves and ferrying in and out of rapids to moving quickly and tracking well in flat sections, the Moisie does it all.


LENGTH: 16’6” • WIDTH AT GUNWALES: 34”; AT WATERLINE: 33” • DEPTH AT BOW: 26”; AT CENTER: 15”; AT STERN: 26” • ROYALEX PLUS: VINYL TRIM, 77 LBS, $1,899 CAD • ROYALEX: ALUMINUM TRIM, 67 LBS, $1,899 CAD


NOVA CRAFT CANOE PROSPECTOR


16’ (E) www.novacraft.com $1,299–$3,399 CAD


The workhorse of the Canadian north,


Nova Craft’s Prospector feels most at home loaded with gear on a remote wilderness lake or river. While it is best suited for river tripping, it remains versatile enough to be a


good all-round canoe. With experience, the self-righting aspects of the shallow-arch hull will become apparent and confidence levels will soar. What’s more, it provides a very dry ride in big waves and whitewater. It is one of the best wilderness tripping canoes. The Prospector is available in four lengths: 15 feet, 16 feet, 17 feet and 18 feet.
