The lightweight Stellar S16 G2 Touring Kayak.
The Stellar S16 G2 Touring Kayak is a high-performance touring kayak. Building off the success of the original designed S16, Stellar has added a bit more volume and waterline beam for some additional stability and a more vertical bow and stern for more waterline length for better efficiency and tracking. The foredeck was redesigned to include a little more height and allowing for the new Bow Pod for easy reach storage and deeper cut-aways to allow a tighter more efficient stroke. The new adjustable seat back and ergonomic shaped cockpit rim and allows for a better paddling positions and comfort while paddling.
Just a beautiful boat and a pleasure to paddle.
The S16 is available in four constructions, all coming in at less than 40 pounds.
Technology:
Advantage:
Weight: 37.5 lbs / 17 kg
Description: Great combination of weight, stiffness, durability, and cost. Gelcoat finished heat cured infused epoxy Fiberglass and Soric® core laminate is very tough and resists against punctures. A great race boat on a tight budget. The Advantage hits the mark for price to weight ratio for most kayak paddlers.
Multi-Sport:
Description: Single skin laminate hull made of Carbon & Kevlar® fabric, with clear gelcoat finish, and the deck is the standard Advantage construction. The hull is designed to be flexible and durable, but creates a stiff boat that can take some abuse in the class I and II rapids and shallows, but is also at home in the ocean or the flats. The Surf Ski Multi-Sport construction comes standard with an over-stern rudder, as well as a flush mounted Andersen Super mini-bailer.
Excel:
Weight: 35.3 lbs / 16 kg
Description: Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the Alpha. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate – Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fiberglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Multi-sport or Advantage constructions.
Alpha – Woven:
Weight: 34.2 lbs / 15.5 kg
Description: Extremely stiff and light – The ultimate paddling machine that is also easy to move off of the water. Clear finished, heat cured epoxy woven Toray 3k Carbon Fiber laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core.
