Sitka 140 (Sitka ST)

The Eddyline Sitka 140 is a sit-in touring kayak sized for the small-to-medium paddler, and at 43 lbs it's one you can lift onto the car yourself. It's 13' 9" long and 22.5 inches wide, with a hard-chined, lightly rockered hull and a retractable skeg you drop from the cockpit when the wind picks up. Eddyline used to call it the Sitka ST.

Built for Day Touring

Eddyline makes it from Carbonlite, its own ABS composite that resists scratches, impacts and UV, with fusion-welded seams. Sealed bulkheads at the bow and stern sit under two 10-inch round hatches. Capacity is 300 lbs, and Eddyline rates it for coastal water, lakes, inshore paddling and Class I–II rivers.
