The design concept for the 18.5
was to create a longer thermoformed kayak to target sea kayak guides,
tour operators, and long distance touring enthusiasts. The 18.5
delivers a comfortable balance of stability and maneuverability which
amazingly is not overly affected when under load. Considering its
longer length, the 18.5 turns on a dime and handles beautifully in a
wide variety of conditions with or without the rudder deployed. Tour
operators and coastal expedition leaders will be pleased with its
massive dry storage capacity and larger than average hatch openings, a
standard feature on all Delta Kayak boats. A true Nor’wester in every
sense of the word!
