ESQUIF PROSPECTEUR 15

PROSPECTEUR 15

Our Prospecteur 15 is the little sibling to our Prospecteur 16 and Prospecteur 17 canoes. With a traditional Chestnut Prospector inspired design it is a stable yet sporty canoe that handles rough conditions and a good sized load.

Ideal as a wilderness whitewater tripper for youth, for couples looking to go exploring on weekends, or as a very capable solo expedition canoe.

T-FORMEX

T-Formex is a high tech laminated material consisting of an ABS foam core, ABS sheets, and a protective outer plastic skin. Its resistance to abrasion and heavy impacts make it an excellent material for recreational, whitewater, and expedition canoes. Once heated and molded, T-Formex sheets form a hull that has an unmatched structural memory. So even after being folded around a rock, an Esquif T-Formex canoe will return to its original shape with minimal distortion. Stronger than fibreglass and lighter than polyethylene, T-Formex gives Esquif’s designers a material with superior characteristics.
