Shearwater Hybrid Kayaks

Shearwater Hybrid’s hull is identical to the standard Shearwater’s, with computer-cut BS 1088 Okoume panels assembled with “puzzle joints,” so it goes together quickly.  Computer-cut molds are set into the hull with temporary hot glue. These molds shape and support the deck during construction. The kit includes precision-milled bead and cove Western Red & Alaskan Yellow Cedar strips. The strips are milled with a “bead and cove” joint so that one slides into the next for perfect joinery.

Our complete boat kits include a MAS epoxy kit, fiberglass cloth, seat, backband, footbraces, deck rigging, and our step-by-step manual. Protective items (gloves, respirators, hearing protection, etc.) and finishing supplies are not included in the kit but are available for purchase.
