NORTHWIND 18
Sometimes more is better. The Northwind 18 offers the same stability as our 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.
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.
