Guillemot Expedition Single Sea Kayak Plans - PDF

The Guillemot Expedition Single Sea Kayak Plans feature a similar cross-section and profile shape to the shorter Guillemot model, resulting in comparable handling characteristics. Despite its longer 19-foot length, the Expedition Single remains maneuverable and easy to handle. The additional length provides ample space for gear storage and efficient long-distance paddling.

It boasts a moderately hard chine that offers responsive turns. Consistent with other Guillemot designs, the Expedition Single delivers stable performance for its width, with a smooth transition from initial to final stability. It has received positive feedback from both novice and experienced paddlers, who have praised its comfortable and impressive handling and maneuverability.

Overall, this design has received high praise from Nick and all those who have tested it, as it defies the expectations of a typical 19-foot kayak.
