The Civet Cat K2 meets both the Paracanoe specs and the Touring Class specs of the International Canoe Federation, and with its mid-range stability rating accommodates a wide range of paddling abilities. It is popular among sprint, adventure and marathon racers for its lightness and manoeverability but is also perfect for more leisurely tours and fitness workouts. Like the Civet Cat K1 it features a cutaway front deck that enables the paddle to enter the water very close to the cockpit, reducing effort and enabling a high degree of paddling efficiency.
