The light sea kayak under 18 kg
Stellar SILV Sea Kayak
The SILV and the SI18 sea kayak from the Stellar family offer the speed you are used to from Stellar in combination with stability and safety, which the sea kayaks prove under rough conditions.
We configure the SI18 and the SILV in Stellar multisport layup by default. This means the hull is made of carbon/kevlar, which is a sandwich of fiberglass and a honeycomb core. The result of the SILV is a sea kayak with a total weight of 17.8 kg.
The SI18 and SILV are available with the option of adding a Smart Track stern rudder and keel strips.
SI18 or SILV: Choosing the right model
The SILV (LV = "Low Volume") is ideal for light to medium-heavy paddlers with a weight of 55 - 80 kg. The SI18 is for medium to heavy paddlers with a paddler weight of 75 - 120 kg. Anyone who is in the transitional range in terms of body weight should decide according to the area of application and potential payload. For example, if you decide to use the SI18 as a person weighing 70 kg and often use it without a load, you may quickly reach your limits under more difficult conditions. Because then the kayak offers more surface area for wind and waves to attack, which requires more strength to control it.

Who is the SILV the right sea kayak for?
The light sea kayak for light to medium weight people
Many of our customers who choose the Stellar sea kayak appreciate the sensationally light weight of less than 20 kg and the very comfortable entry into the cockpit. The kayak can be steered reliably and offers space for additional loads for trips lasting several days. It's ideal for big-water touring in moderate conditions.
Integrated seating position
The cockpit lets air: ideal for people who prefer a kayak that is not quite as tight. Accessible from the seat: skeg, two day hatches (one aft day hatch on the SILV) and luggage nets.
Smooth-running & track-stable
Both models use a long waterline and enable a higher cruising speed to be reached and sustained.

Optionale steering possible
The SILV has a skeg installed that ensures good directional stability. If you want, you can optionally attach an additional control.
Large cockpit hatch and comfortable seat
The SILV has a large keyhole cockpit hatch (80 x 44 cm). There's plenty of room to get in and out of here.
baggage hatches
The SILV is equipped with two large, oval luggage hatches. These offer enough space to use the kayak for multi-day tours.
rescue toggle
Rescue toggles that are essential for use on the high seas.
SKEG
We equip the SILV with Kayak Sport SKEG as standard. This impresses with a long and stable fin.
Two day storage compartments
Within range from the seat.
Keel stripes
A Kevlar keel strip can be added to all Stellar kayaks for individual orders. It offers protection when parking and landing. The weight increases by around 700 g.
