Canoe building plan

Design 2135 Northstar 500

This 1/4 tonner was built by Hughes Boat Works of Ontario, Canada. The boat was built of fiberglass on a production basis. They were introduced in 1972. The boat provided a very generous interior, primarily due to the 9" beam. She looks like she'd make a nice, classic little weekender. It looks like they can be bought for under $10,000.

Here's the original brochure.


Here are the plans.
