The Chilco has a multi-chined, low-rocker hull for high speed and effortless tracking. Well-defined chines allow the boat kayak to have a relatively small wetted surface and solid stability for edging turns. The shallow "V" of the hull makes this lightweight expedition kayak stable while at rest or underway. The acceleration and forward speed is very fast. Easy rolling and low wind resistance in adverse conditions are a result of the Chilco's low profile. The ergonomic cockpit design allows easy entry and it's thigh braces accommodate a variety of paddler sizes.
