Ready Built Shearwater Hybrid

Product Description

We built this Shearwater 17 Hybrid kayak as a show boat in 2023-24. It is brand new and on display in our showroom. Carefully constructed using paulownia and red cedar strips, marine plywood and carbon fibre fabric, it is strong, lightweight and beautiful.

The Shearwater is one of our most popular sea kayak designs, because of its nimble, efficient hull shape and reassuring stability.

The photos above show the actual boat for sale. Hull 002 is the one with the carbon fibre cockpit apron.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about this boat or to arrange a viewing at our showroom near Kendal.

You can order the boat on our website, but this is priced for collection only. If you require delivery, please contact us for a shipping quote before ordering.
