The
design concept for the 18.5 was to create a longer thermoformed
kayak to target sea kayak guides and tour operators alike. The 18.5
delivers a comfortable balance of stability and maneuverability
which amazingly is not overly affected when under load.
Considering its longer
length the 18.5 turns on a dime, and handles beautifully in a wide
variety of conditions with or without the rudder deployed The tour
operators or coastal expedition leaders will be pleased with its
massive dry storage capacity and the larger than average hatch openings,
standard on all Delta Kayaks. A true Nor’wester in ever sense
of the word!
Note: A Delta Kayaks rudder is standard but this kayak can be ordered
without.
