The Chestnut Canoe Company
designed the Cronje to be a fast, reliable canoe for people who have a
destination in mind. While not as well
known as some of the other models produced by Chestnut, it is rich in
history and a very able performer. The canoe is named in
honour of a famed Boer
War Commandant General, P.A. Cronje, and the Nova Craft reproduction of
this venerable canoe retains both the paddling characteristics and
the tradition of the original.
The Cronje is ideally
suited to paddlers who want to challenge big, open water by covering
distance with ease. It has fast lines and excellent
tracking, making it a joy to use when there's little time to reach a
favourite campsite before dark. Cargo capacity isn't compromised
for speed and the canoe handles well both with a load and empty. Its
lower profile means less wind drag on the water and
lower weight on the portage trail. The Cronje is most at home
in landscapes with large open lakes like the famed Boundary Waters or
Algonquin Park.
