Item Description
The Blue Ribbon Design, by Erik Ruetz:
The Blue Ribbon is the canoe you buy and the let your friends use, so that YOU can gaze at its radical design as it glides through the water. The star and cloud elements of the design display how canoeing has always been about embracing nature, but now with a new style to add to the fun. The design is meant to give the world-renowned quality of Nova Craft Canoe the thrilling and modern design it deserves.
The Bob Special:
The Chestnut Canoe Company responded to the need for a lightweight canoe well suited to solo tripping and casual tandem paddling by introducing the versatile Bob's Special. While the canoe was very stable due to its larger than normal width, the hull shape was optimized for performance resulting in a canoe that was remarkably fast. Our version is based on the Chestnut original with some improvements to increase speed and sea worthiness.
It is ideally suited as a tandem day-tripper yet large enough for a weekend canoe trip. It really shines when paddled solo by a competent paddler. The Bob has a unique blend of characteristics that produce a canoe novice paddlers can enjoy yet experts can savour. This is a no keel model.
Length 15’, Weight 50 lbs, Beam 35”, Depth Center 13”, Depth Bow/ stern 21”, slight rocker, Capacity 800 lbs. Recreational/ Quiet water touring.
