Beautiful Wooden Cedar Strip Sea Kayak

Description

Absolutely gorgeous handcrafted cedar strip kayak.
This is the Great Auk design by Nick Schade. The Great Auk is a roomy, fast and stable kayak and tracks very straight. The long water line and clean entry permits it to cut through the water with a barely visible wake. The flared bow gives a very dry ride, lifting over most waves with little effort. This is one of Nick Schade's more stable single sea kayaks. This is a good all-around boat for someone wanting a stable, efficient kayak.
Beginner kayakers will find this design to be comfortable and reliable. It is well balanced and with a little practice novice kayakers will be able to take this boat a long way. It will not be a design you outgrow immediately. Larger paddlers will find this design roomy and capable. It can easily carry quite a substantial load so heavier paddlers will still find it usable for multi day trips. 17' 0" long 52 lbs 24 in. beam 350 lbs. capacicy cockpit 28" x 16" Paddler weight 150 - 220 lbs Knee height 13" Built of 1/4" thick red and white cedar strips with 2 layers of fiberglass/epoxy then multiple layers of marine varnish, this is a boat built to last and stay breathtakingly beautiful. Be the envy of others on the water in this exquisite kayak! In excellent gently-used condition.
