Northwind's most popular tandem tripper. Remarkably maneuverable, yet reassuringly stable. Known to be the most seaworthy, yet fast, canoe available. When other canoes are wind-bound you’ll enjoy the thrill of playing in the waves.
Features:
- Available in StarLite Material
- All Aramid
- Northwind's proprietary yellow and black makes a stunning moiré pattern
- Full wet bag minimizes resin and creates the lightest weight canoe available
- Foam core, ribs and internal reinforcements make a stiff, efficient hull
- The choice of flat-water paddlers everywhere
- Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings
- Colour: Northstar proprietary Aramid weave
Trim Options:
- Aluminium Trim: Proprietary two piece bronze anodized gunwales, thwarts and grab handles; thermoformed deck plates; ash portage yoke; laminated, contoured web seats hung on ash trusses
- Wood Trim: Oiled white ash gunwales; sculpted and laminated black walnut and ash end decks; walnut and ash laminated contoured web seats hung on walnut trusses; walnut and ash laminated thwarts and yoke; stem mounted tie down loops. Laminated black walnut and ash creates a distinctive and refined canoe that is stronger and lighter
- E6 Carbon Trim: Elegant carbon gunwales with integrated carbon end decks; walnut and ash laminated thwarts and yoke; walnut and ash laminated contoured web seats hung on walnut drops; stem mounted tie down loops. Full outwales mean a stiffer and drier canoe. E6 trim reduces a canoe’s weight by ~1 lb. We do not recommend E6 trim for whitewater
