The West River 18™ combines all of the latest CLC design technology into a uniquely able craft for fast touring or even racing. The original West River 18™ has built a huge following thanks to its speed, comfortable cockpit, and lithe good looks. The new multichine West River 18 features a hull shape with plenty of rocker, firm bilges, and a lower aft deck.

It carves turns and exhibits predictable, nimble handling in waves or surfing conditions, and retains the beauty and simplicity of the original West River 180™. Like all CLC kayak kits, the new West River 18™ includes hatches, bulkheads, deck rigging, and everything else you need.

All West River™ kits include: Instructions, pre-cut parts, hatches and bulkheads, full deck rigging, Keepers™ adjustable footbraces, epoxy kit, fiberglass for hull (inside and out) and deck, tractor seat, and backband.
