Worth knowing
Nova Craft Canoe; cover, cost and conditions
Nova Craft builds Canadian canoes in Ontario in various materials, from polyethylene through T-Formex to Kevlar and carbon. The Prospector is the classic for wilderness tours, the Pal and the Bob Special are smaller touring boats. The choice of material determines value and repairability and with them the benefit of hull insurance.
With Kevlar and carbon hulls the value lies in the upper four-figure range, and laminate damage can be repaired, so hull insurance is clearly worthwhile here. With polyethylene the value is lower and repair less certain; there the hull insurance is above all of interest against theft and total loss. State the material in the application, as it influences how the value is determined.
For wilderness tours in Canada, Scandinavia or Alaska you need the worldwide cruising range level. Register the route and the period beforehand. The touring equipment, tents, dry bags, stoves, satellite communication, can be insured as accessories if it is stated in the application; on a wilderness tour lasting several weeks that is a four-figure item. We do not offer boat third-party liability for muscle-powered boats.
