    Sometimes more is better. The Northwind 18 offers the same stability as our flagship Northwind 17, but the additional space provides a little more comfort for a third member of the group or the family dog. There’s no need to debate bringing the Dutch oven and camp chairs. The Northwind 18 is ready to haul your gear.

     

    Shown with optional 3rd seat


    Ideal as the ultimate tourer / family boat, yet durable and light enough to compete in the Devizes to Westminster canoe race

    Construction options:

    BlackLite:

    Carbon outer with Aramid reinforcements. Combines the stiffness of carbon fiber with the excellent tensile strength of Aramid. Our full wet vacuum bag and foam core allows us to artfully balance strength and weight. For those that want significantly greater durability than StarLite, yet value a lightweight canoe. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings.

    Color: Black carbon weave. Approx 48lbs

     

    StarLite:

    All Aramid. Our 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.

    Color: Northstar proprietary Aramid weave. Approx 43lbs

Laminated black walnut and ash creates a distinctive and refined canoe that is stronger and lighter.
