Northstar B16 Aluminum Trim

Sixteen feet is all you need for a week or a day, the B 16 will handle a wilderness trip or nightly family cruise. Northstar couldn’t follow the lead of every other canoe company and call this model a Prospector, even though it is their most versatile design. It’s a full hull with plenty of capacity in a short and maneuverable package. Like its sibling the B 17 you can expect a dry boat with predictable behavior in moving water thanks to the symmetrical rocker. And the B 16 lends itself to solo paddling since there’s no bow thwart.

StarLite:

All Aramid. Northstar's 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.

BlackLite:

Proprietary carbon outer with Aramid reinforcements. Combines the stiffness of carbon fiber and the excellent tensile strength of Aramid. Northstar's full wet vacuum bag and foam core allows us to artfully balance strength and weight. For those that want significantly greater durability than StarLite, yet value a lightweight canoe. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings.
