Description
Description
The traditional style Venture Prospector excels on wilderness expeditions and whitewater trips, making it popular with enthusiasts and outdoor centres across the globe.
A wide beam, classic symmetrical hull and soft tumblehome mean the Venture Prospector is easy and stable to roll on to edge, whilst the familiar recurved bow and high freeboard keep you dry through features and prevent swamping.
The historic Prospector designs that this model is based upon were true workhorses, and the Venture Prospector shares their ability to maintain supreme edging performance for pleasingly smooth turns on both moving and flat water, even when fully loaded.
Features
- Contoured Carrying Yoke - Fitted balanced, oiled to match the seats and shaped for comfortable shoulder carrying. The yoke also provides rigidity to the boat's shell.
- Durable, Moulded End Decks -Integrated, ergonomically shaped handle for comfortable carrying. The one piece end deck provides protection and strength to the bow and stern.
- Heavy Duty Alloy Seat Hangers -Strong enough to cope with the excited wriggles of generations of new canoeists, and the demands of all shapes and sizes of paddlers. Can be reversed for an angled kneeling seat.
- Oiled Wood Web Seats -Not just an optional upgrade, these durable and attractive seats come as standard on all Venture Canoes.
- Tough Vinyl Gunwales -Scratch resistant and highly resilient to the forces exerted on gunwales.
