Whether your are expert or developing your skills, the Essence is one of the best value sea touring kayaks you can buy.
The hull tracks solidlly yet is manoeuvrable. The strongly flared bow and stern give true dirctional stability and the defined chines enhance control for smooth, predictable turns. A shallow profile under the cockpit provides good initial and secondary stability. The multi-position retractable skeg is standard.
The added length and volume of the Essence 17 over its little brother, the Essence 16, makes it a more forgiving boat for average to large paddlers.
