Nova Craft Pal 16
The Nova Craft Pal 16 is one of the best multipurpose canoes on the market to date, beautifully finished and constructed as standard in Nova Craft's TuffStuff material it is lightweight, balanced and a pleasure to paddle.
The Pal 16 is a do it all canoe, offering great performance for paddlers of all abilities. A great choice for day tripping on flat water, fishing or just perfecting those traditional canoeing strokes.
The Pal's symmetrical hull allows it to be paddled efficiently either tandem or solo and in either direction, and its long waterline helps to maintain direction and hull speed with ease. The slight rocker and raised ends aid turning and manoeuvring and thanks to its slightly lower freeboard, the Pal excels across the wind whilst the slight tumblehome (a hull which grows narrower above the waterline than its beam) helps to keep you dry.
Outfitted with traditional canoeing features, the Nova Craft Pal 16 includes a Nova Craft Ash Bootlace Seats, Ash Thwart, Deluxe Carry Yoke, and factory fitted Bow and Stern Floatation Tanks.

Materials
Fiberglass is an affordable composite material with a proven track record of durability. Nova Craft's fiberglass hulls are among the lightest and most rugged on the market today. Nova Craft use woven fiberglass cloth to make a truly superior hull. Fiberglass canoes are great for recreational use and are a good choice for budget-minded individuals.
TuffStuff is a cutting edge proprietary composite made of basalt and Innegra fibers. Basalt fibre is made of melted basalt rock and Innegra is a fibre consisting mostly of polypropylene. When they are woven together into a cloth and infused with our high impact vinylester resin system, the result is simply amazing! TuffStuff canoes are a great choice for paddlers looking for a light canoe for extended flatwater tripping with more than enough strength to handle lots of abuse in the back country.
TuffStuff Expedition (TSE) is a more robust, heavier duty version of Nova Craft's standard TuffStuff construction. These canoes are an excellent choice for an expedition grade canoe for extended wilderness trips and some whitewater use. Stiff for great performance, incredible impact resistance and lightweight all in one canoe.
Aramid Lite canoes are the lightest boats that Nova Craft make and are intended for flatwater tripping. Built by infusing Aramid cloth with our high impact resistant vinylester resin these canoes have great strength to weight characteristics. While they are ideal for wilderness trips involving lots of long portages, it is also wonderful just to have a lightweight canoe to put on and off the car. Nova Craft use Twaron fabrics to give you the power of Aramid.
Blue Steel is an aramid and carbon fibre hybrid material. These canoes are light like our Aramid Lite boats but are significantly stronger. Not only is the look of carbon fiber cloth very appealing but the carbon fibers add stiffness to the hull to increase paddling efficiency. Adding an inner layer of Innegra and infusing these hulls with high impact resistant vinylester resin makes a very rugged canoe. Blue Steel canoes are most at home in flatwater scenarios but have been proven very reliable on long Arctic river expeditions as well.
