After more than 30 years experience in building the highest quality racing kayaks and canoes which have been the choice of many world champions Kirton have, in collaboration with Rob Feloy, started to focus increased attention on the burgeoning market for sea kayaks. This is ,of course, by no means Kirton's first foray into sea boats. Many paddlers still wax lyrical about the handling of the Meridian single which they continue to rate among the best ever even though it is now some 20 years old.
	The build quality of the Kirton product has become something of a benchmark in the industry. The comprehensive range of Sea Kayaks now on offer means that the discerning sea paddler can find a Kirton boat to suit his needs. Whether it be Racing, Touring, Expeditions or simple Day boating there is a Kirton made for the job.
	Please remember, in our factory using the invaluable experience gained building light weight racing boats and employing the latest materials & vacuum bagging techniques we can construct your sea kayak so that it does not have to break your back every time you lift it out of the water. The weight can be kept low without adversely affecting strength. Sea kayaks from Kirton are designed by canoeists, built by canoeists and sold by canoeists - we know what matters to you. When you are out in a 'big sea' you must have a boat you can trust that boat is a Kirton.
