Delta Kayaks 14 with Skeg
Delta Kayaks 14 is the smaller sibling to the larger Delta 15.5GT in Delta Kayaks Touring Series. It was designed to bridge the gap between Delta's small rudderless 12s and 12.10 light-touring kayaks and their longer, narrower performance touring kayaks.
Its relatively short length, lightweight, and ease of turning suggest the Delta 14 kayak is perfect for both day outings and longer adventurers – but its exceptional tracking and surprising hull speed is similar to what one expects in some longer sea kayaks.
It's a quick, lightweight, super stable paddling machine that still provides storage space comparable to most 17 ft. sea kayaks. A moderate Vee hull and long waterline length ensure super stable performance and predictability even in rough water conditions, while the defined sides provide solid secondary stability when edging.
"Delta Kayaks 14 successfully combines the very best of their shorter touring and longer performance kayaks to satisfy a wide range of paddler skills and weights with an impressive blend of performance and stability in a versatile, compact package."
