Nova Craft Trapper 12


The Nova Craft Trapper 12 open canoe is without doubt one of the best, small, lightweight solo canoes on the market today. Made from Nova Craft's superb Tuff Stuff material, the Trapper 12 is unbelievably light and as such incredibly easy to get on and off a car, to and from the water and around portages.


Tuff Stuff composite material is a blend of Basalt weave cloth and Innegra, a Polypropylene-based material. This gives the Nova Craft Trapper 12 canoe a superb resistance to impact, stiffness on the water leading to great responsiveness and tracking, and a beautiful finish with the gel coating. The Trapper 12 not only looks great, but is a rewarding solo canoe to paddle.


Even though the Nova Craft Trapper 12 canoe is only 12 feet long, there's still a good amount of space for kit or even a small 4-legged canoeing companion. The short length doesn't make it slow or difficult to handle either. The Trapper 12 is an ideal blend of speed, stability and manoeuvrability and just makes it a real joy to take out every time. The Nova Craft Trapper 12 canoe comes with a single ash wood and bootlace seat fitted as standard, 2 thwarts, ash carrying handles and built-in buoyancy tanks front and rear.

Note:

The Nova Craft Trapper 12 Tuff Stuff canoe is also available with factory fitted wooden gunwales and skid plates. This means that your special order canoe will be filly outfitted with your specified options before it is shipped to the UK. Please call us on 01603 747139 for price and timescale.
