Guillemot: The Guillemot is the boat I was trying to create when I first named the company "Guillemot Kayaks". I wanted a boat with good all around performance for my own use. It needed to be "sporty" with quick acceleration and manoeuvrability. The boat needed to be comfortable and easy to paddle to the places I wanted to be. After iterating through seven different designs this is the one I have settled on.
With a shallow V bottom and fairly hard chine's the Guillemot is comfortably stable and manoeuvrable. The volume is brought well into the ends for a smooth ride over waves. The low lines of the deck keep the boat out of the breeze for good balance in cross winds
