    Default Fastest Sea Kayak in OZ.. and it's wood.

    hey guys...

    was in Canberra the other week at the Kayak Club's time trials. Capeboatworks had this Mystery 20 strip plank kayak, I think it is a Guillemot design.... anyway this looks absolutely wonderful and fast.....

    From what I could see it went just as fast if not faster than the K1's....

    There is a photo of it on the front page of www.capeboatworks.com.au

    This has to be the fastest sea kayak available... I want one...

    Hi Moondog,

    The Mystery is a damn fast sea kayak. It's won sea kayak events in NZ and the US/Canada. Not sure about here, this is one of the first I've seen here although I believe a Vic Sea Kayak Club member did build one out of foam strip which would have been light and fast.

    www.guillemot-kayaks.com design it, Cape Boatworks are their agent here. See the Guillemot page (under Kayak Plans -> Other Designs -> Mystery for full specs. Very unstable compared to other sea kayaks, it's built just for speed (and not really for turning corners!). Goes like a rocket apparently.

    Definitely on my list of kayaks to build...

    Regards,
    Darren
