These boats are built from Okoume mahogany plywood for strength and natural good looks. The Merganser tracks well yet manoeuvres easily with leaning. This boat is stable enough for the novice yet will perform for the expert. It has a relatively high forward deck to provide leg room and dry ride and a low rear deck for easy rolling. The Merganser is very fun to surf of wind blown waves, accelerating quickly to catch waves and zooming along in a comfortable and controllable way. The waterline is 20 inches wide on the merganser for efficient paddling. Flared sides provide comfortable secondary stability. The multi panel deck and recessed cockpit provide leg and foot room as well as an ergonomic fit in a sleek, low profile kayak.
The merganser hybrid, combining the unsurpassed looks of strip built wooden kayaks with the great looking, high performance and lightweight plywood Merganser hull. Home builders will find the hybrid the ideal way to build a beautiful boat with much less effort and complexity than a strip built kayak. Plans and kits are now available.
