The Amak

The Amak t is CLC’s response to hundreds of requests for an attractive stitch-and-glue sit-on-top. The Sea Island Sport is 15'6" long and features a pleasing shape, attractive from every angle, with a unique contrasting deck made out of Sapele plywood. The reddish Sapele contrasts with the more honey-colored BS 1088 Okoume in the hull. Sharp-eyed observers will note the similarity to CLC’s popular Eric Schade-designed Shearwater line, which have a similar cambered Sapele deck and tumbled-home sides.

This sit-on-top with above-average speed. “Combining high performance with a self-draining cockpit was the hardest thing we’ve ever designed,” Harris remarks. "Nick Schade outdid himself in drawing an attractive sponson hull. You’ve got your stable fishing platform, but we think it’s faster than most sit-on-tops out there

Thanks to the sponson keel, tracking is very strong and many paddlers will use the Sea Island Sport in the surf. The stability and self-draining cockpit makes beach launches and landings safer and easier than in a traditional kayak. Price: $2600.
