Northstar Canoes - Northwind 17 Canoe

Northstar Canoes’ most popular tandem tripper, the Northwind 17. 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.

• Color/Style: StarLite / Aluminum trim. Northstar proprietary Aramid weave.

• Material: 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.
