Designed from the start to be a super-fast boat for racing or light touring, the West River 180 is suited to skilled paddlers who enjoy straight line speed. With a 17'2" waterline, this is a perfect boat for racing; or load her up with a week's worth of gear and you'll have the fastest touring boat in your paddling club. Ê
TLike the Chesapeake models, the West River 180 has a beautiful cambered deck and coaming rim, with enough foot- and knee-room to accommodate a large range of athletic paddlers. Primary stability is fairly low, but with a 22" beam she'll never scare you.
