Northwind 18

The Northwind 18 offers the same stability as the 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.

StarLite (SL):

All Aramid. A 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. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings.

BlackLite (BL):

Aramid Reinforcements. A carbon outer with Aramid reinforcements. Combines the stiffness of carbon fiber and the tensile strength of Aramid. The full wet vacuum bag and foam core allows balanced strength and weight. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings.

Stealth: (STLH)

Carbon and Black Innegra co-woven outer with inner blanket of proprietary yellow and black aramid. The lightest lamination at the expense of some durability, a dream for wet footed portaging. Only available with E6 trim and E6 parts: canoe weight reflects E6/E6 savings. Stealth is lighter than StarLite and has lower impact resistance. Many options are not offered with Stealth including: skid plates, adjustable seats, third seats, and kneeling thwarts.
