Recognizing the popularity of the classic 16' Chestnut Prospector 'Fort', Canadian Canoes commissioned Ted Moores to design a 17' tripping canoe which would be 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 uninterrupted direction of water flow allows the canoe to move through the water with the least amount of resistance. It adds some fullness (lift) to the hull below the water line as well as being a very easy shape to plank.  A new wood canvas form was constructed in March of 1994 from the Moores' design and a number of "Wilderness Nomad's" are now in service. The design is so successful that Ron Frenette decided we should make this craft available using Bear Mountain wood/epoxy strip building techniques. The Nomad-S is long, sleek, easy to plank and easier to paddle.
