Several thousand units of both models of the Mill Creek have been buit since their introduction in 1997. This may appear surprising for a "dumb kayak", but there are reasons for this: they look nice, they are easy to build and though they are much more stable than most kayaks on the market, the Mill Creeks are fast and nimble.
The Mill Creek was designed as a wider, shorter, and more stable alternative to the typical sea kayak. It offers the stability sought by nature photographers, fly fishermen, and birders. The most versatile paddling designs in our lineup, the Mill Creeks are true high-performance boats. That is, if high performance is defined as comfort, good handling, rewarding speed, stability, and classic good looks. Originally drawn as stable and compact complements to our more traditional sea kayaks, the Mill Creeks have found fans among paddlers of all skill levels because they offer so much boat in such a light and easy-to-manage package.
One must admit that those plastic "seat on top" kayaks are unbeatable to go "rock shaving" with their stable, light and watertight hull. On the other hand, they don't look good and the pleasure to be on the water sitting on a piece of plastic is not the same as it is with a nice looking wooden craft... But the fact is that the current sea kayaks are not fitted to the intimate visiting of the shoreline: too long, too "technic", too unpractical...
