The 18 is a little bit of a freighter, good for larger loads and longer trips, straight tracking and up to big lakes and rivers.
Sometimes more is better. The Northwind 18 offers the same stability as our flagship Northwind 17, but the additional space provides a little more comfort for a third member of the group or the family dog. Theres no need to debate bringing the Dutch oven and camp chairs. The Northwind 18 is ready to haul your gear.
