New Materials:
The MERLIN PROJECT family of kayaks utilizes an exciting, recently patented material
we call "CARBONLITE 2000 (tm)", a Thermoplastic Alloy which combines properties
of high impact strength, high dimensional stability, stiffness, repair-ability, lightweight and high gloss. It is extremely ultraviolet resistant with high longevity. Carbonlite 2000 can be recycled and lends itself to designs previously only available to composite (fiberglass) kayak manufacturers.

Modulus

Modulus Composite construction consist of a unique marriage between high strength thermoplastics and Kevlar/ glass vacuum bagged lamination.  The result is a lighter, stronger construction than either carbonlite 2000 or fiberglass, without gelcoat.   Modulus Technology is a breakthrough in kayak construction.

Length: 12.0 Ft. Beam: 26.0 In. Weight: 40 lbs

Depth: 14 in

Capacity: 295 lbs.

Cockpit: 19"x35"

Our favorite definition of Skylark is “boisterous play”, and that is exactly our experience when paddling this kayak. It’s sweet, classy lines, hard chines and fully rockered hull offer high primary and rather incredible secondary stability. The efficient hull configuration makes for easy paddling and good hull speed. The Skylark tracks extremely well for a short boat yet maneuvers quickly and easily. It responds instantly to sweeps and back strokes and accelerates with ease to its design hull speed of 4.7 knots. Skylark sports a rear bulkhead and hatch, adjustable seat back, retractable carrying handles, reentry bunjis on the rear deck and a six point front deck tie configuration. Additional flotation in the bow is in the form of a three inch foam pillar and the Sea Dog foot pedals are comfortable on bare feet and easy to adjust while seated in the kayak. A stainless steel security eyestrap is mounted at both bow and stern for locking the boat.

Its comfortable seat sports a padded backrest that can be adjusted in height as well as forward or backward.

The XT is longer and deeper than the LT making it highly suitable to larger paddlers and has substantially more storage capacity as well as a larger cockpit and seat. Still small and light enough to easily carry, this dry riding kayak is fast, with a performance hull that tracks straight, carves easily and, like the LT, is indifferent to the wind. It is equipped with hatches, bulkheads, carrying toggles, re-entry bungies, front deck lines and spare paddle holder. Cockpit is available with or without thighbraces. Rudder Free Design.

It features a recessed skeg, hatches, bulkheads and a keyhole cockpit along with our comfortable seat and three way adjustable backrest.
