Petrel Sport SG - An Expedition worthy stitch and glue sea kayak

The Petrel Sport SG is a 16' x 21" stitch and glue expedition kayak engineered for dynamic water conditions. Its extended waterline and compact footprint deliver responsive speed without sacrificing maneuverability, while substantial rocker enables quick directional changes. The transitional chine design—double forward, single aft—grants precise edging control for aggressive turning. A spacious cockpit accommodates larger paddlers and optimizes lower-body positioning for powerful strokes. Excellent stability inspires confidence in rough conditions, and generous cargo volume supports extended expeditions or casual day trips. Plans include options for flush wooden or rubber hatches, complete with construction specifications, hatch installation protocols, bulkhead patterns, and detailed assembly guidance for both coaming and hardware integration.
