Sixteen feet is all you need for a week or a day, and the Northstar B16 can handle a wilderness trip or nightly family cruise. Its a full hull with plenty of capacity in a short package. Like its sibling the B17, you can expect a dry boat with predictable behavior in moving water thanks to the symmetrical rocker. The B16 lends itself to solo paddling since Northstar eliminated the bow thwart.

The B16 offers a wide variety of paddling possibilities. This is the canoe for you: if you love day trips, but might load it up for a week; love fishing but might need to maneuver through light rapids; love to paddle with a partner but might want to go solo. The B16 turns on a dime, yet tracks as straight as a true north compass bearing.
