The Caribou is a very popular kayak, see the links to reviews and manufacturer specs below. This one is in excellent condition and has always been stored in a garage. It has a skeg and with the Kevlar layup the measured weight is only 47.5 lbs, so it’s easy for one person to load and carry. It’s quick, tracks straight, and is quite maneuverable on edge. It has a front keel strip and I replaced all the hatch cam levers with Pygmy Boat’s offset cam levers, so levers don’t release when re-entering during a rescue.
Description from Current Designs “Greenland Touring / Caribou” web page:
https://www.cdkayak.com/Kayaks.aspx?id=6
“The Caribou is a classic Greenland style design that has a cult-like following of paddlers from all over the world. The hard chines on this stunning kayak gives it amazing initial stability and edge holding capabilities. Couple that with its wave catching powers and you have a great kayak that's fast, nimble, and a pure joy to paddle. Skeg, back band, and thigh braces come standard.”
