S18R G2 The redesigned Stellar S18' Racer touring kayak (S18R G2) is not your average kayak. Owning many ultra-distance course records, this paddling machine has been further refined - be prepared to be blown away.
A tighter catch, streamlined carbon handles and a refined hull shape make this boat as fast as it looks. 3-point footbrace ensures a powerful leg drive. Stability of the G2 will be similar to the G1. Waterline beam still conforms to USCA Sea Kayak division. These refinements make this a boat you need to put in your fleet.

Very stiff and light, yet more affordable than the Alpha. Kevlar® adds impact strength to the laminate - Gelcoat finished heat cured epoxy Kevlar® and Fiberglass laminate with Nomex® Honeycomb Core. Great for racing, or those looking for a light boat, but not as impact resistant as the Multi-sport or Advantage constructions.
USES: Racing, fitness or easy to handle on land. Requires care in transport and protect against hitting rocks.

Single skin laminate hull made of Carbon & Kevlar® fabric, with clear gelcoat finish, and the deck is the standard Advantage construction. The hull is designed to be flexible and durable, but creates a stiff boat that can take some abuse in the class I and II rapids and shallows, but is also at home in the ocean or the flats. The Surf Ski Multi-Sport construction comes standard with an over-stern rudder.
USES: Racing fitness or touring. Flexible hull is ideal for shallow water paddling or small rivers.

Great combination of weight, stiffness, durability and cost. Gelcoat finished heat cured infused epoxy Fiberglass and Soric® core laminate is very tough and resists against punctures. A great race boat on a tight budget. The Advantage hits the mark for price to weight ratio for most kayak paddlers.
The difference is in the details. At Stellar, we realise that all materials are not made the same and premium materials help make a superior boat. From Dupont Kevlar, Toray Carbon, Lantor Core and 3M finishing materials, we realize that these materials may cost more, but provide you with a superior boat in mechanical strength, aesthetic finish, optimal weight and consistent performance. We process those superior materials, by using epoxy resin, heat curing, vacuum and infusion to create the some of the best boats on the market.
