The S16LV is a lightweight tourer - fast, but not too long
Touring kayak for lightweights
The S16LV (LV = Low Volume) was created especially for the requirements of small and light people: The design of the lower hull and the touring characteristics are based on the S16, one of Stellar's most popular touring kayaks. The length and volume have been adapted so that lighter paddlers can sit in good contact with the boat and paddle with less effort.
The S16 and S16LV are fast touring kayaks that are less than 500 cm long, compact and easy to paddle. The shape of the lower hull greatly supports tracking stability. With its dimensions, the S16LV is the ideal kayak for lightweight paddlers weighing between 50 and 89 kg. It has sufficient storage capacity for multi-day trips.
The S16LV is equipped with a stern, front and day hatch as well as a stern rudder. A keel strip is also available for customised orders, which gives the kayak additional robustness.

Balanced kayak
The S16 can be paddled very quickly, but is also balanced and safe. It is also suitable for beginners who want to improve their skills.
Light
At just 17 kilos in the carbon Kevlar layup (multisport), the S16 is also comfortable to carry. We recommend using the handles only when the kayak is empty.
Practical details ...
Direct access to the day hatch and nets, recess to support the paddle float behind the cockpit, adjustable backrest ...
Sophisticated seat
The specially designed seat pad reliably wicks moisture away from the paddler and ensures ventilation - included with all Stellar kayaks!
Long waterline
Typical for Stellar: the long waterline favoured by the underbody construction! Almost the entire length is on the water.
