NORTHWIND 17
Our 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.
compareTrim Options
Aluminum:
Bronze anodized gunwales, thwarts and grab handles; thermoformed deck plates; ash portage yoke; laminated, contoured web seats hung on ash trusses.
Wood:
Oiled white ash gunwales; sculpted and laminated black walnut and ash end decks; walnut and ash laminated contoured web seats hung on walnut trusses; walnut and ash laminated thwarts and yoke; stem mounted tie down loops. Laminated black walnut and ash creates a distinctive and refined canoe that is stronger and lighter. Wood trim adds 2-3 lbs per canoe.
E6 Carbon:
Elegant carbon gunwales with integrated carbon end decks; walnut and ash laminated thwarts and flat yoke; walnut and ash laminated contoured web seats hung on walnut drops; stem mounted tie down loops. Full outwales mean a stiffer and drier canoe. E6 trim reduces a canoe’s weight by 1 lb. We do not recommend E6 trim for whitewater.
Rob Roy E6 trim includes carbon gunwales; contoured foam seat; supportive backband mounted to white ash curved thwart; adjustable foot pedals; stem mounted tie down loops.
