Hellman Prospector - Kevlar Base Model

Coming Spring 2025!

The Prospector is the legendary design. It is ideally suited for extended expeditions or Sunday afternoon family outings.

It is similar to a traditional Prospector except that it is longer, has sharper entry lines and has less upsweep on the bow and stern.

This canoe is faster than most Prospectors because it is longer and more streamlined.

The Prospector can handles large waves and rapids very well and can accommodate a large load with ease.

Kevlar® is a strong and lightweight synthetic cloth that is used extensively in the aero-space industry and also used in bulletproof vests. It is more durable and lighter than fibreglass and many other materials on the market. What most people don’t realize is that the resin system is just as important as the choice of cloth which goes into a canoe. A Kevlar® canoe built with an inferior resin system does not hold up well, whereas, Hellman's proven combination will easily withstand the rigors of extended use.
