The Sedna is one of our most versatile models. Its arched hull shape and waterline length have been designed to provide stability and predictable behavior. The Sedna is easy to handle, requiring minimum effort to maintain a good cruising speed. These characteristics are sure to appeal to the day or weekend paddler who love to go exploring in all weather and water conditions, without needing the storage necessary for a 17’ kayak. Comes standard with a rudder system.
Primary Stability
Primary stability is a reflection of how stable the kayak feels while sitting still on a calm body of water. A high primary stability is perfect for beginners, photographers and fisherman alike.
Secondary Stability
Secondary stability is the stability felt while edging the boat (leaning the kayak on one side using your hips). A kayak with a poor secondary will require a stronger bracing technique to edge with confidence.
Handling vs Tracking
There is no right or wrong answer here. A kayak that tracks more (more grey) will be easy to keep on a straight course. A loose kayak (more blue) will be easy to turn on a dime and change direction quickly.
Speed
This is the general speed of the kayak, combining acceleration, cruising speed, top speed and how easy it is to keep.
Storage
This represents the total inside storage volume the kayak offers. Rudder equipped kayaks tend to have more storage compared to skegs that take up some space in the rear hatch. A high rating for storage is perfect for a touring paddler.
