Prospector 13

This lightweight, stable solo canoe is the smaller partner to our wildly popular Prospector 14. This multi-purpose canoe for average sized and smaller paddlers is one that many solo paddlers have been asking for. If you prefer traditional paddling while kneeling with the boat heeled over, or sitting upright with your feet forward, the Prospector 13 can accommodate both paddling styles. A medium-volume hull with moderate width but ample tumblehome, it offers the performance and feel of a sleek high-efficiency design with a classic traditional look and style. Quick to turn and easy to control, you can take your Prospector 13 out for an afternoon of fishing or photography, or you can load it for days or weeks in the backcountry.

Ideal For; Small to average sized Paddlers, Multi Day Tripping, Day Paddling, Easy Portaging, Dog Paddling (take your dog with you!)

Build Options

Materials

Kevlar Fusion

Our most popular canoe laminate with our highest strength to weight ratio.

Swift Kevlar Fusion canoes are built with an outside layer of a clear marine grade gel coat with Polyester, S-glass and Kevlar cloth layers sandwiching a durable foam core and rib system. The laminate is fused together with a high impact, flexible Epoxy Vinylester resin system.

The Kevlar Fusion laminate is available with our vibrant color cloth finish or solid color gel coat finish.

Gunwales

Carbon Kevlar

Our unique process enables us to infuse the canoe hull and gunwales as one part by creating a bond between the hull and trim. Lightweight, stunning and maintenance free.
