NORTHSTAR CANOES

- 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 them to artfully balance strength and weight. This layup is for those that want significantly greater durability than StarLite, yet value a lightweight canoe. Exterior resin coated for maximum weight savings.

- 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. This lamination is a great balance of lightweight and durability.

- Stealth: Carbon and Black Innegra co-woven outer with inner blanket of proprietary yellow and black aramid. Northstar’s lightest lamination at the expense of some durability, a dream for wet footed portaging. Only available with E6 carbon trim and E6 parts: canoe weights 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.

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

- WhiteGold: Polyester outer, Innegra middle, and with Aramid reinforcements. Only available in Northstar’s ADK series. Exterior Color: ruby or emerald.
