Explorer HV
The HV has exactly the same hull as the Explorer. Knee humps have
been added to the deck to allow for a higher knee position, creating more of a whitewater cockpit feel and allowing greater comfort
for paddlers with longer legs or larger feet. There is also an inch-and-a-half of extra height between top of the seat and underside of
the deck. The performance contour or foam seat can be used to further enhance this geometry.
LENGTH: 17'4" • WIDTH: 21.9" • WEIGHT: 56 LBS • CAPACITY: 703 LBS • PRIMARY MATERIAL: FIBERGLASS

Latitude
Designed for the taller paddler, the Latitude is still a narrow kayak with
surprising stability. It has an extended keyhole cockpit and long knee humps to accommodate a range of seat positions, paddler sizes
and trim configurations. Hull dimensions are similar to the Pilgrim Expedition, with some volume added immediately behind the
cockpit to reduce the amount of stern displacement when accelerating.
LENGTH: 17'2" • WIDTH: 19.5" • WEIGHT: 54 LBS • CAPACITY: 628 LBS • PRIMARY MATERIAL: FIBERGLASS

Pilgrim Expedition
The Pilgrim Expedition is a slim, fast kayak with carrying capacity
for camping expeditions. It is specifically designed as an expedition kayak for the smaller paddler, filling the gap between the
Pilgrim and the Latitude. The cockpit opening is shorter, like the Pilgrim, to allow for better access to a chart case on the fore deck.
Like the Pilgrim, its low-volume rails and rocker make it a joy for smaller paddlers in rough water.
