Eider Open Cockpit Double

18 feet- 6 inches (5.6 meters )
 26 inches. ( 0.64 meters)
with two 30 by 18 inch cockpits

An 18-1/2 foot by 24 inch double kayak for day tripping and over night camping trips. This single large cockpit version is great for flexibility of use in calm or protected waters. The Eider is intended as a relatively compact double for day-tripping. She is narrower and shorter than most boats on the market for manoeuvrability and light weight but retains a long waterline for speed and ease of paddling.

A nimble double kayak. The Eider is designed to be a family day boat. Stitch and glue kits available

As an open cockpit boat it will be very flexible in its use, being able to carry a single paddler sitting in the middle, two sitting near the ends or combinations of adults, kids and dogs. The open version is designed to be used in calm, protected waters such as lakes, rivers and ocean coves.
