Stellar 18' Racer (S18R G2)

 -
S18R G2 The redesigned Stellar S18' Racer touring kayak (S18R G2) is not your average kayak. Owning many ultra-distance course records, this paddling machine has been further refined - be prepared to be blown away. A tighter catch, streamlined carbon handles and a refined hull shape make this boat as fast as it looks. 3-point footbrace ensures a powerful leg drive. Stability of the G2 will be similar to the G1. Waterline beam still conforms to USCA Sea Kayak division. These refinements make this a boat you need to put in your fleet.

Construction Options & Pricing


Alpha: $6,495 | Excel: $4,795 | Multi-Sport: $4,795 | Advantage: $4,095


Alpha - Woven

Weight: 34.2 lbs / 15.5 kg
Description: Extremely stiff and light - The ultimate paddling machine that is also easy to move off of the water. Clear finished, heat-cured epoxy woven Toray 3k Carbon Fiber laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core.

Excel

Weight: 34.4 lbs / 15.6 kg
Description: Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the Alpha. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate - Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fiberglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Multi-sport or Advantage constructions.

Multi-Sport

Weight: 37.5 lbs / 17 kg
Description: Single skin laminate hull made of Carbon & Kevlar® fabric, with clear gelcoat finish, and the deck is the standard Advantage construction. The hull is designed to be flexible and durable, but creates a stiff boat that can take some abuse in the class I and II rapids and shallows, but is also at home in the ocean or the flats. The Surf Ski Multi-Sport construction comes standard with an over-stern rudder.

Advantage

Weight: 38.8 lbs / 17.6 kg
Description: Great combination of weight, stiffness, durability and cost. Gelcoat finished heat cured infused epoxy Fiberglass and Soric® core laminate is very tough and resists against punctures. A great race boat on a tight budget. The Advantage hits the mark for price to weight ratio for most kayak paddlers.
