Clipper Canoe Prospector 16 Ultralight Kevlar Clear

The 16-foot Clipper Prospector is one of a series of traditional-style Prospector canoes offered by Clipper Canoes. All three Clipper Prospector models share the same characteristics of classic design, grace on the water, and maneuverability.

The 16-foot Prospector is molded close to the lines of the 16-foot wood canvas Prospector formerly built by the Chestnut Canoe Co. Webbed contoured ash seats are standard, hung from the gunnels on wood dowels. It is easy to paddle this canoe solo by using the front seat while facing the stern. The seats are high enough for kneeling.

• Ultralight Kevlar Construction | Ultralight Kevlar® canoes are built without any exterior gelcoat, thus the hull has the ‘honey’ color of Kevlar®. The absence of gelcoat results in a weight savings of approximately 10%. The first layer is woven S-glass which is very abrasion resistant and is stronger under compression than Kevlar®. Two layers of Kevlar® are then applied with extra reinforcement in areas of high stress
