The
Mill Creek was designed as a wider, shorter, and more stable alternative to
the typical sea kayak. It offers the stability sought by nature photographers,
fly fishermen, and birders. The most versatile paddling designs in our lineup,
the Mill Creeks are true high-performance boats. That is, if high performance
is defined as comfort, good handling, rewarding speed, stability, and classic
good looks. Originally drawn as stable and compact alternatives to our more
traditional sea kayaks, the Mill Creeks have found fans among paddlers of all
skill levels because they offer so much boat in such a light and easy-to-manage
package.
Mahogany trim on cockpits and rails, cambered decks, and contoured slatted seats
add grace notes, while the fiberglassed 6mm bottom panel will absorb years of
groundings in shoal water. The Mill Creek 13 echoes the look and feel of 1920's
"double paddle" canoes. Combining the stability and comfortable seating of a
canoe with the light weight and decked-in security of a kayak, the Mill Creek
13 is perfect for photography, fly fishing, birding, or just relaxed paddling.
Like all the Mill Creeks, the 13 is surprisingly fast thanks to her efficient
5-panel multichine hull and feather-light 40lb weight. The cockpit is 54" long,
so entry and egress are easy for everyone.
