#9123: Strip Built Sea Kayak 17′ The Great Auk
Price: $2000
Strip Built Sea Kayak 17′ The Great Auk. Built by a local Maryland craftsman who purchased the plans and then hand selected all the wood (not a kit). Absolutely beautiful. Check out the sister kayak, also done by the same craftsman in listing 9121.
The Great Auk sea kayak is a fast, stable comfortable boat for novice and intermediate paddler. It is well suited to camping and has room for plenty of gear. The boat is 17 feet long and 24 inches wide. The plumb bow and stern give the Great Auk a long waterline at over 16 feet 7 inches. With a little flare to the sides, the Great Auk shows a 22 3/4 inch beam to the water, providing good stability. The flared box provides lift over waves for a dry ride. She was built with a wide cockpit for people who want room to move about. A foot operated rudder adds greater control. The rudder deploys and retracts smoothly.
