Here is a modification of an early Geodesic Design. Actually, it is a stretched version of the popular Snowshoe 12. The Snowshoe Arrow is offered for someone looking for a boat that performs like a sea kayak without the weight and complications. It is not an ocean kayak to cruise the Maine coast islands or to perform Eskimo rolls; however, most kayaking is done in more protected waters.
Conditions where a sea kayak will occasionally dip a deck in a moderate chop are met with a different scenario. The Arrow’s relatively high freeboard simply parts the water with reserve buoyancy.
The Arrow 14 achieves its greater speed with less effort to the fact that the Arrow draws so little water...2 1/2". It just skims the surface. The boat challenges heavy kayaks that hang in the garage for being a pain to use. By now you’ve probably figured out how the name was derived...the Arrow tracks like it’s on a rail.
We offer three options for this boat:
A partial kit typically contains the following four items: heat shrink 600D 8.4 oz polyester; Kevlar roving; structural epoxy; adhesive transfer tape (to attach the fabric).
Plans are sold separately and are not included in the Partial Kits. Some people purchase plans long before needing the kit and occasionally the kit is purchased to build custom design.
You can also purchase a partial kit + plans together.
