We-no-Nah prospector 15 & 16
These canoes are the crème de la crème for many paddlers. They are some peoples dream canoe and others would never part from theirs.
Prospector designs are generally well rounded – this statement describes both the performance and the boat shape. They are classed as down river boats which means that if you paddle these down a river, with the right skills you can take on most things you will come up against. They are very load bearing and straight running as well as extremely manoeuvrable. Popular among coaches, and those who like to take on some white water from time to time. Prospectors tend to be a weapon of choice for lots of paddlers who are doing their 5* qualification.
Not only do they paddle brilliantly but they also look traditional. The We no nah prospector has its own design which is slightly shallower sided than some other brands versions this means that it is slightly less affected by wind in open water, but this does result in it being a slightly wetter ride in choppier water, however if you are on white water it tend to be a wet sport anyway.
The 15 is a very popular choice for those who spend much of their time solo. It is slightly wider than the 16, but trust me when I say that it might seem like a strange idea, but it really works! The 16 is a fantastic boat for some solo paddlers, but very often chosen by those who spend much of their time tandem. It is longer and quicker over distances.
