Northstar Northwind 17 StarLite Canoe

Loading...
  • Product Number: 5684

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 youโ€™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 moirรฉ 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 canoeโ€™s weight by ~1 lb. We do not recommend E6 trim for whitewater
