Lively and fun to paddle!
This is a low volume British-style sea kayak and a scaled down version of the highly successful Gulfstream.
At 16' long and 22" wide, this sleek boat performs best with a paddler under 170 lbs. The nicely detailed cockpit and seating area, along with the low stern deck design, allows the paddler easy, safe movement and control when performing rolls or advanced maneuvers. It is outfitted with a retractable skeg, which when deployed gives the kayak stiffer tracking. The skeg can simply be lifted to allow quick and easy maneuverability.
This eye-catching craft is efficiently detailed with full deck rigging and recessed deck fittings, and has three self-sealing rubber hatches. In addition to the forward and rear hatches, a separate small day hatch behind the cockpit offers convenient day storage. |

"Dances" with a lean of the boat and a stroke of the paddle.
World famous designer Derek Hutchinson designed the Gulfstream as a highly maneuverable kayak that appeals to those who want to make their kayak dance with a tilt of the boat and a stroke of the paddle. A retractable skeg enhances tracking on longer trips and in adverse conditions.
The Gulfstream's rubber forward and stern hatches give a completely waterproof seal. The forward hatch is 9-1/2" diameter, and the oval stern hatch is 11" x 16-1/2". These convenient hatches provide ample space for storing gear. The unique day hatch is 7-3/4" diameter and is within arm's reach of the paddler. A third bulkhead behind the day hatch makes this compartment self contained. |
