The SeaStar
We build lightweight wooden kayaks with wood strip decks. White and red cedar strips add the least weight, hardwoods are often used for more colors such as the purpleheart seen on the kayak featured below. Our goal is to have you suggest a pattern for us to incorporate into your deck design. The deck stripping is completed without staples for a more pleasing look.
The hulls are constructed with 4mm marine grade plywood which is both lightweight and strong. Full length plywood planks are joined by wiring together and filling the seams with epoxy. Both hull and deck are covered with 4-oz fiberglass inside and 6-oz fiberglass on the exterior. 4 coats of 2-part polyurethane provide a clear glossy finish that does not darken while protecting from UV rays. Wood is stiff resulting in an effortless glide enabling you to travel a greater distance with the same energy, thereby allowing you to discover even more of the beauty the coastline offers. The warmth and elegance of wood is unparalleled, our wooden kayaks always draw the attention on our outings.
