B 17

Northstars most versatile design. The B 17 will handle a month in the wilderness or carry the whole family for floats on the local river. You can load it with four barrels and enjoy its moving water performance on an expedition. Or you can enjoy its safe, stable reassurance while day-paddling when the two kids and Lassie are all hanging over one side of the canoe.

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.

IXP:

Innegra with an inner blanket of Aramid. Innegra has excellent impact absorption, flex and abrasion resistance. A full wet vacuum bag makes a durable, reasonably light canoe. Multiple layers of Innegra with no foam core or ribs. An extremely durable lamination with far better performance than Royalex. Exterior resin coated because gel coat chips and cracks when subjected to substantial impacts.
