Featured Boat: Frontenac Outfitters –Impex Kayaks Hatteras 16
New for 2010, Impex Kayaks
Hatteras 16 provides a wonderful blend of playfulness, manoeuvrability and stability, while retaining its great tracking and efficiency characteristics. The entire ‘Frontenac Outfitters Review Team’ loved the Hatteras - calling it “the best Impex kayak design since the Currituck”.
PADDLER FIT:
A higher deck and longer/wider cockpit contribute to its extensive fit range of small to large paddlers. A new redesigned seat pan is longer and the seat also slopes forward to maximize drainage.

KAYAK EFFICIENCY & MANEUVERABILITY: Surf kayaks manoeuvrability is
often achieved at the expensive of sacrificing tracking and efficiency. What separates the Impex Hatteras from its competitors is its ability to do both well! A slightly softer chine and moderate rocker provide a high degree of liveliness, while a sharp waterline and shallow Vee hull ensures great tracking.
KAYAK STABILITY: The Impex Hatteras Kayaks initial stability was rated as ‘high’.
KAYAK ROLL & RESCUE: A phrase too-often abused by manufactures is that “their kayak rolls easily,” but in the case of the Impex Hatteras - it’s actually true! A slightly higher, more bulbous foredeck, low rear deck and redesigned seat pan make wet entries, wet exits and Inuit rolls easy. New ‘Vee Deck’ European Colour Schemes are available exclusively, a $150 value Free!
