Northstar Northwind 16 BlackLite with Wood Trim and Kneeling Thwart
The Northstar Northwind 16 BlackLite Construction is one of Northstar's popular tandem tripping canoes. Remarkably maneuverable, yet reassuringly stable. If you love day trips, but might load it up for a week; love fishing but might need to maneuver through light rapids; love to paddle with a partner but might want to go solo. The Northwind 16 turns on a dime, yet tracks as straight as a true north compass bearing. 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.
This beautiful canoe has laminated wood gunnels and thwarts.
BlackLite Construction
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.
