A large volume tripping canoe: • Length 16'• Maximum beam 35"• Beam waterline 33.25"• Bow height 19.25"• Centre depth 13.25"• Displacement 420 lbs.• Draft 4"• Wetted surface 27.2 sq.ft.• Weight to immerse 120 lb/in• Prismatic coefficient 0.510• Weight 55 to 60 lbs• Keel-less or shoe keel The Chestnut Canoe Company built this "workhorse of the North" to meet the specific needs of the prospector - good maneuverability through whitewater and wilderness, with capacity to carry substantial loads. The 16' Prospector features a flattened, shallow arch hull with its fullness carried into the bow and stern, good depth amidships to maintain freeboard and deepened ends to keep paddlers and gear dry. The rockered keel-line makes it very maneuverable in whitewater. This was the favoured canoe of the late Bill Mason, Canada's premier paddler..."it is amazing that such a large-volume tripping canoe can also be so beautiful to paddle solo in the leaned position - canoe ballet, as I call it. It is the ideal all-round canoe." For information of what is included in your cedar strip kit, click here. For more information regarding our short cedar strips, click here.
