Bob Special 15'
The Chestnut Canoe Company responded to the need for a lightweight canoe well suited to casual tandem paddling and solo tripping by introducing the versatile Bob Special. While the canoe is very stable the hull shape is optimized for performance resulting in a canoe that is remarkably fast. Our version is based on the Chestnut original with some improvements to increase speed and sea worthiness.
It is ideally suited as a tandem day-tripper yet large enough for a weekend canoe trip. It really shines when paddled solo by a competent paddler. The Bob has a unique blend of characteristics that produce a canoe novice paddlers can enjoy yet experts can savour.
