Recognizing the popularity of the classic 16' Chestnut Prospector 'Fort', Canadian Canoes commissioned Ted Moores to design a 17' tripping canoe which would be a kindred spirit to the 'Fort'. The mid section and profile are similar to our 16' Prospector but with much of the hollow in the water lines removed. This adds some volume and stability to the hull below the water line and makes a very easy shape to plank in cedar strip construction.

The Nomad is long, sleek, easy to plank and easier to paddle.

Is this the right boat for you?
