The Stellar 16′(S16) Touring Kayak was an instant classic, in launching the second generation(S16 G2), Stellar have built off the success of the initial design and its decade in the market. They’ve added a bit of waterline beam for some additional stability and the bow was made more plumb to increase the waterline length for better efficiency and tracking. The foredeck was redesigned to include a little more height to allow for paddlers with larger feet. Stellar have also made the cutaways deeper to allow for a tighter and more efficient stroke. The cockpit rim was lowered along with the seat position which stellar moved to the bow allowing for easier back deck rolling. Rounding out the updates, they’ve also added a 3rd hatch on the fore deck for your phone, VHF radio or snacks.
