Made many wilderness and whitewater trips in my NovaCraft prospector. Not too heavy on portages. Great to hear Prospectors are bring used over there....maybe a bit too heavy duty for UK /Irish conditions but enjoy. The best canoe ever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-66984376076848174302010-11-21T19:13:28.013+00:002010-11-21T19:13:28.013+00:00Hendrik, I'd just be happy to actually get it ...Hendrik, I'd just be happy to actually get it on the water, my car was in for servicing last week so I'd no way to transport the canoe. The weather was rubbish anyway but I really want to get out this week.Mac Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212410938991488721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-80221516547670611452010-11-21T15:50:29.105+00:002010-11-21T15:50:29.105+00:00The Prospector rocks.

Great buy, looking forward to your canoe adventures!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919113324490223605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-7545380858250071232010-11-15T20:01:00.141+00:002010-11-15T20:01:00.141+00:00@Dave, bit of a coincidence that you posted about ...@Dave, bit of a coincidence that you posted about your Ally just as I'd bought my canoe.<br /><br />I'm off work for a few days but can't get the canoe out as my car has just gone in for MOT prep, I'll probably keep the cano at my mother's as there's a small river at the bottom of the garden.<br /><br />I'll update as and when but I guess as long as it floats I'll be happy :-)<br /><br />@ Alan, I must admit I like the lines, it's pretty traditional. <br /><br />The moggy didn't come free with the Canoe but it, together with it's 3 sisters came free courtesy of a stray cat I was foolish enough to feed. One of the others had to be put to sleep as it somehow managed to break it's leg but I appear to have been adopted by the remaining 3.<br /><br />They've had more fun in the canoe than I have so far ;-)Mac Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212410938991488721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-73861408725976745402010-11-15T19:46:59.724+00:002010-11-15T19:46:59.724+00:00Hi Richard,

Especially in Canada or Finland/Sweden.<br />Hope you have some good trips in it. Did the moggy come with it ‘cause Sheila wants one? The moggy she means.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910485704176747208.post-70497833735106222112010-11-15T11:04:41.653+00:002010-11-15T11:04:41.653+00:00Nice.

I was looking at Nova craft canoes recently since I'm half looking for a one-man I can keep in my garden for playing in my evenings weekends (I'm luck enough to live at the waterside). Look forwarsd to seeing how this one works out for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113976429882261890noreply@blogger.com
