Real Hudson Fast Performance Kayak Assembled 18 Ft Handmade Built Wooden Model New This kayak has been widely admired for its beauty. It’s good for the average paddler to use in open water, surfing, and even racing. The low back deck permits the paddler to easily lean back and the foredeck is high enough that most paddlers will be able to get their legs in and out while sitting down. This kayak performance is fast and efficient and surfs very easily. This kayak is good for both average and experienced paddlers to use on lakes, rivers, and open water. This racing kayak is completely handcrafted and it typically takes about 500 hours to build one. At Woodboat USA, we still use the traditional method of constructions while integrating the highest quality of materials currently available. Strips of cedars are joined together by hand and encapsulated in fiberglass bonded in place with epoxy resin then coated with marine vanish. This combination of fiberglass and epoxy is very strong and completely transparent so that the beauty of the wood will be protected for generations.Cockpit: 29.5 x 15.75 inches.Center Height: 11.5 inchesBack of Cockpit to Bulkhead: 56 inchesWidth Inside: 18 inchesCockpit Height Behind Seat: 8.5 inchesOverall length: 18 feetWeight: About 50 lbsCapacity: up to 550lbs About Woodenboat USA™ :For years, professional canoe guides and outfitters have relied on plastic or fiberglass for their fleets of boats. Each of them has its own merit. One is inexpensive, the other light. But none of them has the beautiful look. At Woodenboat USA™, we are determined to make something stunning beautiful and at the same time strong, durable and light weight.How can we achieve all of these? All of out canoes/kayaks are assembled from strips of top graded Canadian cedar (a very rare soft yet very strong timber) and then encapsulated in fiberglass with epoxy resin.
