Since we introduced this canoe its popularity has been remarkable. The hull is based on the Chestnut Canoe Co.’s famous Bob Special with some improvements to increase speed. It has a shallow arch bottom, tumblehome and a slight rocker which makes it a joy to paddle solo. While it is ideally suited as a tandem day tripper, its capacity makes it large enough to handle a weekend canoe trip. Faster than most 15' canoes the Bob Special is a great canoe with classic lines.
Canoe Categories:
- Recreation: Good all-around canoe for entry level or family paddlers.
Safe, stable, comfortable.
- Quiet Water Touring: Fast hull that paddles efficiently, turns easily and
tracks well. Better suited to lakes and deep rivers.
Royalex Lite Specs:
- Royalex Lite - ABS plastic laminate with a core of expanded closed cell foam. We custom order our Royalex Lite sheets for each model for extra hull strength and stiffness while keeping the weight down. These canoes are great for shallow and whitewater and stand up under the most rugged conditions.
- Available in Red, Green, Burgundy, and Blue
- Weights: Royalex Lite - 58 lbs.
Fiberglass, Kevlar, Spectra, and Blue Steel Specs:
- Fiberglass - We use woven fiberglass cloth for the hull with ends reinforced with Kevlar for greater impact resistance plus foam-filled flotation chambers. Among the lightest, most durable fiberglass hulls available.
- Kevlar/Cap - These hulls are infused with high impact vinylester resin, sandwiched with fiberglass cloth between an outer layer of Cap (Chemically Activated Polyester) cloth and an inner layer of Kevlar.
- Kevlar/Spectra - We combine Kevlar and Spectra with a high impact resistant vinylester resin in these infused hulls for espedition quality, lightweight canoes that resist tearing and punctures far better than an all Kevlar canoe.
- Blue Steel - This is an advanced Kevlar Carbon material combined with Spectra and applied through a unique infusion process. The result is a tough, rigid canoe that's surprisingly light and easy to handle.
- Available in Canoe Red, Forest Green, Sand, Desert White, Ox Blood, Olive Green
- Weights: Fiberglass - 58 lbs., Kevlar/Cap - 50 lbs., Kevlar/Spectra - 45 lbs., Blue Steel - 42 lbs.
