Maximum speed and fun in a tandem kayak. The width is the same as the Expedition Single at 21 inches. This is narrow, but it gains great stability from its 25'6" length. This is a boat for a pair of experienced paddlers who want to paddle together but don't want the compromises of a shorter and wider double. This is a high performance touring kayak suitable for intermediate to skilled paddlers. (Beginners looking for a double should ponder the Guillemot Double)
The Fast Double really is fast. It consistently does very well in races such as the Blackburn Challenge. Obviously with its length it is not a quick turner, but it is quick in a straight line. The two paddlers are far enough apart that they do not interfere with each other at all. The two paddlers can paddle different cadences if they want. The boat also rolls very easily for those so inclined.
