Sea kayak (wooden)
THE GOLDEN Redfish Custom Kayak Co.

When designing the Golden, the goal was to incorporate some of the unique handling characteristics of the "King" in a smaller kayak that is just as at home in big and rough water.
In addition to being about a foot shorter than the King, the Golden has more rocker, is 1/2" narrower, has an even lower rear deck, and due to the fact that it is recessed, the coaming height is the lowest of all the Redfish designs.
Owing to the shorter waterline length, the Golden is not as fast as the King. However, like its big brother, the swedeform hull and harder chine aft of the Golden contribute to even greater maneuverability and crisp leaned turns that are well behaved - it will return to track when brought back to upright after a leaned turn.
The bow and stern height are similar to that of the King but because it is a shorter kayak, a bit more fullness has been added towards both fore and aft ends to ensure that the bow and stern ride high and resist burying in heavy seas.
