Open Canadian Canoe. Nova Craft Supernova Solo Whitewater Boat.

DesignNova Craft Supernova canoe. A solo, single seater made of Royalex with black, vinyl gunwales and the standard Nova Craft lace seat. The seat is tilted down slightly so it doubles as a kneeling thwart. It has also been outfitted with kneeling pads and a central d-ring for thigh straps (straps not supplied). It is also fitted with a padded portage yoke.

Comes complete with airbags and painter ropes. Length14'10" (4.3 m)Beam32" (81 cm)Capacity850 lb (386 kg)Weight58 lb (26.4 kg) ConditionI bought the boat second-hand several years ago and I’ve fitted kevlar skid plates to the bow and stern. The skid plate at one end is a little loose now (see photo) and will need replacing eventually. The boat is watertight and there are no major dings and no creases and no holes. There are two rough patches inside the hull.

They look like points where airbag anchor plates would have been glued in. These were removed by the previous owner. SuitabilityThe boat is designed for moving water - as such It would best suit someone with some experience. You can paddle it on flat water - canals and lakes but it's not the fastest thing in a straight line.
