West River vs. Artic Hawk

Posted by Josh on Apr 21, 2005

I am interested in building another CLC kit and speed is factoring into my decision. I still want a "sea kayak" so I am not planning on a "Pax" model, though I know they would be fun.

How does the new West River compare with the Artic Hawk for performance? I really like that picture that was posted recently of the Hawk, it is a beautiful, well built, boat.

I am currently paddling a CH 17lt and I love it. I put a skeg in while I was building it, but it tracks so well I have hardly ever used it.

Thanks, Josh
