Stellar S14 – Ultra Lightweight Excel Construction

Stellar 14′ Touring Kayak (S14 G2) The second-generation Stellar S14(G2) pays homage to the original in its hull shape, but stellar have added some beam to increase the primary stability and a touch of volume for the carrying capacity. You will find this boat retains the smooth efficient feel in the water with updated features above the waterline. A paddle recess behind the cockpit rim, a wider and more functional lock bar and more aggressive cut-aways make for a tighter catch and modern look, plus the convenience of a deck pod makes storing a phone or keys easy. To round out this best seller, Stellar refined the ergonomics of the cockpit and seating position for better rotation and rolling. This is the Excel Construction version and comes with a retractable skeg and is rudder ready. Excel is the lightest version carried in Australia and is cheaper than the special order Ultra Layup (approx. 100 grams difference) (the other version carried is the stronger heavier Advantage layup ) Rudder Ready makes it easy to install a smart track rudder as it has has tubing for rudder directional cable, steering capable footrests already installed and rear mounts for Rudder pin and a rest for the blade when folded for transport installed. Excel Weight: 32.4 lbs / 14.7kg Excel Layup Description: Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the ultra layup. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate – Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fibreglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Advantage constructions.
