The Northstar

We have all been taught to believe perfection is unobtainable. And yes, this is true when it comes to pancake griddles. But this is not the case with tandem canoes. How else would one describe the Northstar? We've trimmed the beam to provide the hull speed of boats a foot longer. It tracks, glides and turns with minimal effort. Loads of room for gear. And we haven't tried, but there is a rumor it even improves pancakes.

BlackGold™ We're huge fans of composite fibers here at Bell Canoe Works. They're light, incredibly strong and they look super cool. Our highest-grade composite is something we call BlackGold™ and it is the finest canoe laminate available. BlackGold™ combines the stiffness and compression resistance of carbon fiber with the formidable tensile strength of Kevlar&#reg;. Every BlackGold™/KevLight™ canoe now comes with an integral Kevlar&#reg; skid plate in the bow and stern — which is ingeniously laminated between the outer and inner layer of composite fabric for additional strength and wear resistance. Canoes made with BlackGold™ are not only superbly lightweight — but they absorb impact like nobody's business. Color: Natural (Black carbon weave)
