Bluefin Northern Light |
BLUEFIN
Designed to meet the rigors of Lake Superior, it is named for the Lake
Superior Herring, locally known as "Bluefin," a staple of the commercial
fishing industry for over 100 years.
This
is a moderate volume kayak, a great boat for an intermediate paddler,
with enough room for camping trips. Hatches are cut out of the strip deck and
waterproofed with a foam gasket. A roomy cockpit allows for easy entry and
egress.
Comes with a form-fitted foam seat and a foam covered wooden back rest.
"Keepers" footrests are standard, as are wooden toggles through the bow
and stern. Compass and retractable skeg are options.
See Accessories page for other options. For places and times

The Bluefin is an East Greenland type
wooden kayak built with a hybrid marine plywood hull and wood strip deck.
This boat is based on a
traditional kayak design. The slight rocker and extended water line in the stern help this boat
track very well, yet it turns very nicely when leaned.
