A bigger Polaris? The Boreas is our largest tandem with shouldered flare. With a similar capacity to the Northwind 17, you can easily disappear into the wilderness for an extended trip. With a narrower center section, the Boreas can be paddled solo from the center and is easier to portage for smaller paddlers. .table_component {overflow:auto;width:100%;} .table_component table {border:1px solid #dededf;height:100%;width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;text-align:left;} .table_component caption {caption-side:top;text-align:left;} .table_component th {border:1px solid #dededf;background-color:#eceff1;color:#000000;padding:5px;} .table_component td {border:1px solid #dededf;background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;padding:5px;} Specs Length 17 ft 9 in Length/Width Ratio 6.5 Width 32 GW / 36 MX / 32 WL Sheer 21 BW / 14 MS / 19 ST Rocker 2.5 in BW / 1.5 in ST Weight 41 SL 44 BL Optimal Load 375-675 lbs Displacement 2” WL : 205 lbs 3” WL : 360 lbs 4” WL : 495 lbs 5″ WL : 665 lbs .table_component {overflow:auto;width:100%;} .table_component table {border:1px solid #dededf;height:100%;width:100%;table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;text-align:left;} .table_component caption {caption-side:top;text-align:left;} .table_component th {border:1px solid #dededf;background-color:#eceff1;color:#000000;padding:5px;} .table_component td {border:1px solid #dededf;background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;padding:5px;} Material Starlite All Aramid. Our 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. Color: Northstar proprietary Aramid weave. Blacklite Carbon and Innegra co-woven outer with Aramid reinforcements. Combines the stiffness of carbon fiber and impact resistance of Innegra with the excellent tensile strength of Aramid. Our full wet vacuum bag allows us to artfully balance strength and weight. For those that want greater durability than StarLite, yet value a lightweight canoe. Color: black carbon and black Innegra weave. Blacklite HD The BlackLite HD construction is a reinforced version of BlackLite suited for rougher river conditions. 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. Color: Innegra weave Stealth Carbon and Black Innegra co-woven outer with inner blanket of proprietary yellow and black aramid. Our lightest lamination at the expense of some durability, a dream for wet footed portaging. Only available with E6 trim and E6 parts: canoe weight reflects E6/E6 savings. Stealth is lighter than StarLite and has lower impact resistance. Weight savings and wet footed portaging go hand in hand. Many options are not offered with Stealth including: skid plates, adjustable seats, third seats, and kneeling thwarts. Color: black carbon and black Innegra weave.
