C-Trek 16

The ultimate all-rounder. Meet the C-Trek 18's baby brother, the C-Trek 16. But don’t let the size fool you. Being approximately two-foot sorter, its reduced length is its strength. Imagine the C-trek 18 Expedition only lighter, more maneuverable and much more convenient to handle out of the water. That’s the C-Trek 16 in a nutshell. It really is suitable for paddlers of all abilities from absolute beginners right through to the experienced expedition paddler. It’s incredible maneuverability makes it the standout choice for rock hopping, and the Kirton’s rugged constructions will take the knocks and bumps of everyday use.

 

The efficient hull design makes full use of the boat’s overall length, so it performs as well as many kayaks that are a full foot longer. This means you can keep with the big boys with minimal effort.

 

The rounded cross-sections give a solid and stable platform that’s very forgiving for the beginner paddler. It will continue to delivery satisfaction and performance as you improve.

 

The deck also benefits form the latest, high-quality Kajak Sport hatches and fittings to optimise security and performance.

 

The C-trek 16 is fun, responsive and offers excellent performance.

Accessories & upgrades

Rudder upgrade

We’ll add a rudder and foot peddles for imporved maneuverability

Keelstrip

We’ll laminate a durable, hull-coloured Diolen keelstrip directly to the underside of your hull. This takes the wear when landing and launching, and increases the life of your boat.

Compass

For easy navigation, we can install a precision compass on the front deck.

Custom forward bulkhead

Choose the position of the forward bulkhead to suit your leg length. While we’re at it, we’ll also add foam padding for extra comfort.

Foot pumps

Usually mounted on a custom bulkhead, our double footpump will help keep the water where it should be; out of the boat!

Forward day hatch

Need extra storage? We’ll install an additional hatch that’s within easy reach on the front deck.
