By integrating the latest design technology it allows you to take your sea touring experiences to new levels whether you are an expert or developing your paddling skills.
The advanced hull design is solid tracking yet manoeuvrable. A strong V-shaped bow and stern gives true directional stability and the defined chines further enhance control for smooth, predictable turns. A shallower profile under the cockpit provides good initial and secondary stability. Performance adapts to suit the conditions with our multi-position retractable skeg that is easily operated with the conveniently located adjuster.
The Essence 17 has a touch more length and volume than the Essence 16. This gives more space and forgiveness for average to large paddlers and carries heavier loads without compromising on its handling abilities.
The Essence 16 is ideal if your paddling style suits a slightly livelier and more nimble ride. Snugger ergonomics allow for close control and also give a great fit for smaller paddlers.

Special safety instructions for the use of canoes and kayaks
The product is designed to be driven by human power.
Before setting off, you should check that your equipment is in perfect working order and complete. Ensure that all bolts are tight in the case of sealed boats. If a steering system/skeg system is installed, check that it is working properly. Check the boat hull for damage.
Mark your boat and important pieces of equipment with your name and contact details so that the material can be assigned to you.
Equip your boat with the appropriate buoyancy aids. This will not only prevent your boat from sinking, but you can also hold on to it in the event of capsizing until help arrives. Boats with sealed storage compartments or boats that are unsinkable by the manufacturer do not necessarily need to be upgraded. The storage compartments act as buoyancy aids if they are properly closed.
Kayaks and canoes can be bulky and heavy or unwieldy - get a second person to help you load and carry them and/or use loading aids and a boat trolley.
The driver of the vehicle is responsible for load safety during transport. Only use authorised means of transport in compliance with the road traffic regulations.
Never attach a person, an animal or other objects to the canoe/kayak with ropes.
