Novacraft Trapper Royalex 12ft Canoe

Novacraft Trapper Royalex 12ft Canoe. Have had this boat a little over a year, bought from a chap who'd barely used her from new. I've used it on flat water and a few beach days. Fantastically light, you can pick it up with one hand easily. I've really enjoyed looking much stronger than I am wandering around the place holding the boat on my shoulder and all my gear in the other hand.

Responsive on the water, and really (really!) moves quickly for a small boat (especially if you 'cheat' and use a double blade). Have drilled the gunwales in one place to add a rudimentary heavy oak kneeling thwart, which I suspect might be a few inches too far forward. Comes with original seats and yolk. It's in great condition inside and out. A few cosmetic scratches which I have tried to photograph, but come and view the boat before buying if you're in any doubt.

Selling as it is a bit too responsive for my taste. Not sure if it's a skill issue or a weight issue or both, but I'm not comfortable enough in it to take the kids with me, and it sinks if I try and self rescue (without airbags). I expect it might suit a lighter and/or more experienced paddler better. It's a better boat than I deserve if I'm honest. Collection from NN14 or might be persuaded to deliver for petrol money if convenient (for me!).

Reserve the right to remove from sale as advertised elsewhere.
