Dagger Stratos 14.5

Medium Sized Touring Kayak

The Dagger Stratos 14.5 is a versatile kayak suitable for general touring, rock play, surfing and has enough storage for several nights away too. With a well-designed hull profile it offers a smooth and forgiving ride for beginners while also providing all the response and performance that highly experienced adrenaline seekers will love.

Suitable for calm or lively waters on the coast and inland lakes, lochs, canals and rivers. A finely tuned rocker profile and soft edges with a small but effective rail make the boat manoeuvrable and predictable in rough conditions. Drop the skeg and it will track beautifully, raise it and you will experience stunning manoeuvrability.

Great hull design is complimented by the excellent cockpit outfitting which can be adjusted to ensure maximum connectivity so every move you make is transferred directly to the kayak.  On edge there is a very precise and predictable response, likewise when bracing and rolling the level of control is confidence inspiring. The Stratos 14.5 has 8 fitting points for fine-tuning the thigh pads, adjustable footrests that can be moved on the fly while in the cockpit and the height of the front of the seat can also be adjusted. There is also a pack of neoprene hip pad shims so you can get just the right fit.

The Stratos 14.5 is available in two sizes - the Stratos 14.5 S (small) and the Stratos 14.5 L (large), the Large version has more volume in the foredeck area to accommodate paddlers with longer legs. Both models have dual density hatches giving access to enclosed storage compartments and the criss-cross bungees can be used for on deck storage such as a set of deck paddles.

The Stratos paddles just as well empty or loaded. Moulded and made here in the UK this is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a multi-purpose kayak that has become a tried and tested favourite amongst club paddlers and coastal explorers alike.
