The Wood Duck Double will take two average adults, or a total payload of up to 400 pounds. Like all of the Wood Ducks, the Wood Duck Double paddles fast and with little resistance. Stability is sufficient for stepping down from a low dock---always a great test of a kayak's stability. Tracking is solid; so far we haven't fitted our demo model with a rudder. (A rudder is still a nice upgrade to any two-person kayak, as it eliminates the need for committee decision-making on which direction to go from minute to minute.)
Build this boat if:
- You need a two-person kayak that isn't excessively long or bulky.
- You need a kayak with comfort and stability without being a tub.
- You need a versatile and commodious fishing platform.
- Ease of construction is important
