Sometimes more is better.

NORTHSTAR CANOES : PEARL

 

The Pearl is an updated classic. The Chestnut Pal has been known as a great general-purpose canoe for both flat and moving water for half a century. Northstar Canoes’ design retains all the performance characteristics of the Pal. They’ve eliminated the recurved stems, which offered no performance benefit, but increased the weight. Paddlers seek out the Pearl as a low volume tandem for day paddles and short overnights, and when paddled backwards from the bow seat, a high-volume solo for larger loads or paddlers.
