The Unity is a sleek 21' tandem expedition kayak built for safety and performance. Similar in size and shape to our popular Libra XT tandem kayak, the Unity provides abundant space for storage, a long waterline so paddles don't bump when out of sync, and an efficient and quick glide through the water, making covering many miles on the water less tiring. Improvements include an oversized center hatch and larger front hatch dramatically improving storage and retaining buoyancy in emergencies. For larger group trips this is extremely convenient for storing larger items that can't easily be packed elsewhere. Both novice and experienced paddlers alike will appreciate the quick acceleration, long smooth glide, and solid stability profile of the Unity. Offered only in a special double-reinforced fiberglass lay-up that creates excellent durability while keeping weight significantly lower than a comparable Poly/Plastic tandem kayak. Dimension Adjustable Seat Back is standard for supreme comfort on the water.

Maximum Load: 750 lbs.
Fiberglass ~ 85 lbs.

Note: Because of the oversize length, this kayak follows canoe delivery pricing.

Swede Form: Widest behind the cockpit, Swede form has a cleaner, longer, and more slender entry, giving efficient touring speeds and maneuverability. In shorter lengths these kayaks are very responsive. Longer kayaks with this feature have amazing acceleration and track well. Because of the narrow bow they may punch through a steep wave, rather than ride over it.

Soft Chine: A smooth transition from the bottom of the hull to the sides. Soft chines give smooth edging at unlimited angles. The majority of kayaks that we build have a soft chine.

Shallow V: The “V” shape improves tracking, has a lively feel and delivers very comfortable stability.

Touring Cockpit: Touring cockpits are somewhat small to help resist imploding of the spray skirt if hit by a large wave in rough water. They include built-in thigh braces on the cockpit rim to maximize control when edging and rolling. They range from 29” to 35” long, depending on the model.
