Java
This is an excellent warm weather touring kayak. Weighing on 33 lbs with a 15’4″ waterline, it is fast, lively, and maneuverable. A drop-skeg is part of the framework and is necessary for tracking. Stow gear on the bow and stern decks. With the sit-on-top kayak, your center of gravity is higher. To provide stability, the Java has an ample beam. If you’d like to paddle with a friend occasionally, there is an easy add-on second seat kit.
Sit-on-Top Construction—
What’s it Made of?
Hull — Duratek. Our specially formulated urethane hull fabric welded with our continuous process technology.
Deck — Urethane coated Polyester.
Air — There’s lots of air—securely trapped inside welded urethane sponsons.
Frame — Anodized 6061-T6 aluminum magnesium alloy, shockcorded together, just like a tent. Bow and stern sections are through bolted to HDPE end plates.
There’s not a lot of framework, but enough to make these sit-on-top kayaks rigid, sleek and ready to perform. These are not rubber-ducky boats!
