Northstar'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.
This is an excellent couples or small family boat, with a lot of carrying capacity for a 16 footer. The design has recently been changed to allow for more efficient solo paddling, letting you turn the boat around and paddle from the bow seat.
Northstar offers it in four constructions and with two different trim options, offering you the ability to tailor make the boat to your needs.
Northwind 16s are available in:
- WhiteGold (52 pounds) : Ruby or Emerald clearcoat
- IXP Innegra/aramid (57 pounds): clearcoat
- StarLite aramid (38 pounds) : clearcoat
- BlackLite carbon/aramid (41 pounds) : clearcoat
We stock the Northwind 16 in WhiteGold, IXP, and StarLite, but can order the other layups and wood trim. Lead time on custom order boats is typically 5 to 8 weeks, sometimes a little longer in summer.
