Nova Craft  'pal' 16' Canadian Canoe In Royalex Lite

Nova Craft 'Pal' 16' Canoe made from Royalex Lite. Reluctant sale, not getting enough use. In used condition, please see photos for marks on hull etc. These are usual for a used canoe and happen on the first trips out. Slight crack in plastic end cap, easy to replace but have left it as original, does not affect canoe at all.

Canoe is beautiful to paddle either solo or for a family trip. Slightly narrower than prospector, dont have to reach out so far to paddle, great for family use, tracks well, easy to keep straight but manouverable too. Light and easy to handle, carry etc for one person, east to get on and off car etc. Very well known design made famous by Bill Mason. Search for history and reviews.

Never drilled in any way and always stored properly inside, out of the sun etc. Aluminium Gunwales.Cash on collection only. Inspection welcome. Washed dust off before photos so water all over it! Would be prepared to deliver up to 40 miles from my home for 75 pence per mile e.g 40 mile delivery would cost £30, but canoe would have to be inspected at my address and paid for first.

Cost over £1200 new. Go have an adventure!! PAL 16’During its long history of building canoes, the Chestnut Canoe Company produced a range of models they called Pleasure canoes. One model proved to have such universal appeal that it became the definition of a general-purpose craft. This model began life as the Ajax but it grew to be so popular that it was renamed Pal to reflect the affection owners felt while using it.

Nova Craft has painstakingly reproduced the lines of the original Pal to provide today’s paddlers with the opportunity to own one of the best general-purpose traditional canoes ever made. It’s a great choice for paddlers who want a canoe that does it all well. Nicely suited for flatwater trips or short outings for sightseeing or fishing, the Pal handles rough water well and feels comfortable in windy conditions. Indeed, it’s a pleasure to paddle either tandem or solo. Once you paddle one you’ll know why owners call it “My Pal”.
