Northstar Canoe “Time in Boat” with Northwind Solo and Trillium
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2019
- “Time in Boat” is what we refer to as our version of a virtual test paddle for you. Here’s a cut of two of Northstar’s popular Northwind Solo and Trillium.
Northstar Northwind Solo BlackLite E6 Carbon Trim with seat set in kneeling position.
Northstar Trillium StarLite w/ Wood Trim with seat set in kneeling position.
Paddler: Richard was about 5’8” and 180 lbs. He has many year’s solo paddling both WW and flat water. Currently owns a BlackLite Merlin II. Was interested in going smaller and lighter with the Trillium in StarLite.

Great video awesome view of the boats in the water definitely beneficial to anybody considering purchasing Northstar
This was VERY good for a canoe buyer, the whole weight thing and size of paddler is seldom mentioned - Very good sales info
My Dream boat
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
nice video! how do the two models compare on the water in terms of performance? which boat would you recommend for a shorter paddler for day trips? thanks!
Hi Dennis, It really depends upon your size and predisposition toward stability and gear load. I assume for day trips that the gear is minimal. If you are under 16-170 lbs and have some solo background, you may enjoy the trillium as it offers low windage and a very efficient paddling postion. But, if you want something that is a little more "relaxed" and able to haul a load then the Northwind Solo may be the better pick. I'm 165lbs but often paddle with kids or a dog so the Northwind Solo is more versatile for me. I have a gent that is a150 lbs that is going with the Trillium because he liked the lighter weight, great glide/tracking for his size and the smaller craft for convenience. If you are a "sitter", you may also like the slightly more stable Northwind solo. Though "Time In Boat" solves most stability issues...ya just gotta learn your craft.
@@HappyPaddlin - that's a super helpful response, I don't have a way to test boats locally so I really appreciate it!
I really don't understand why we all can't do everything in pajamas.
He did for years!
