Its generous width provides excellent stability, while the efficient hull design delivers impressive speed and performance. Nova Craft's Bob Special is based on the classic Chestnut design, with refinements that enhance speed and seaworthiness. Ideal for tandem day trips and capable of handling weekend adventures, it also excels as a solo canoe in the hands of an experienced paddler. The Bob Special offers a unique combination of stability, efficiency, and versatility that appeals to both novice and seasoned paddlers alike. Made in Canada. Aramid Lite canoes are the lightest models in Nova Craft's lineup, designed specifically for flatwater tripping and wilderness travel. Constructed by infusing Twaron® aramid fabric with a high-impact-resistant vinylester resin, they offer an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Ideal for routes with frequent or lengthy portages, Aramid Lite canoes make transportation and handling easier both on and off the water. Lightweight, durable, and efficient, they are built for paddlers who value performance without unnecessary weight.
