Fast trailerable coastal cruiser

The Solo Quick blends efficiency, weight carrying capacity and beauty. Paddlers will find that her lean entry and minimalist profile make for a surprisingly quick and versatile hull.

If we have to base ourselves on market demand before 2008, the two daysailers that we propose are very small. At that time, generally characterized by a continuous increase in boat size, it seemed as though a daysailer could not be less than 12 m, (even better if it exceeded 15 m).

Backsplash = backpack kayak.

Combine hiking and paddling
Go to fishing on remote lakes,
Build when storage space is limited.
Living on city? – take a boat on your back and walk to shore to for paddling?

The Matunuck is a surf kayak designed by Nick Schade to be comparable with the best carbon-fiber surfyaks on the market.

These completely new designs were developed at CLC in response to a growing constituency of skilled paddlers seeking waterborne sports cars for racing, exercise, or just plain fun.

After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
