The "Yellowstone" Nord West Drifter
The unique design of the
Nord West Drifter with her huge dry storage capacity of 26
cubic feet and her measurement of 81" beam, 58" bottom, 23"
height at oar lock, 15.3 ft centerline overall gives the appearance
of a large boat, but really weights only 325 lbs.
The Nord West Drifter has been designed with both safety and
comfort in mind. Although it is impossible to design a unique
and perfect boat for everyone, part of the design of the Nord
West Drifter included the safety of young children on board.
It also addresses the main complaint of guides throughout
the North West - the lack of dry storage on existing boats
on the market.
The fact that it needs only six inches of water with three
people on board, combined with the stiffness of the hull makes
it very easy to row. The normal side design has been chosen
for safety reasons, in opposition to a low side profile judged
to be unsafe on some rivers.
The Nord West Drifter is built using proven racing construction
techniques, high tech materials and hand lay up methods -
which is the only way to keep track of the thickness and maintain
a weight of 325 lbs. Retail $7995
