“... I’ve
never experienced as much fun in a kayak as I have with the
Eskimo 18-6 SK.
I am relatively new to he sport of paddling, but took to this
boat like a fish to water. Within a matter of minutes, I felt
comfortable and confident. I love swimming and found it great
fun to jump out of the boat and then hop back in so easily,
all thanks to the fantastic stability of the SK. I'm a big guy,
and stability ranks high in my book... Since I was never afraid
of a capsize, I played and surfed every wave of passing vessels
that I could catch...

Eskimo 18-6 CRX 3G SK
Gene Thorkildsen, WA
“... What impressed me the most about
the SK was how easy it was to sail, even for a novice like me. The
foot rudder allowed me to control the craft without even thinking,
and I was surprised how fast I was moving along, even in light winds.
I really liked flying the outrigger, what a blast! This was the most
fun I had all summer..."

18-6 CRX 3G SK is a highly refined, high-performance sit-on-top kayak.
It features the same hull design, the same performance and handling
characteristics as its counterpart, the sit-inside version: Eskimo
18-6 CRX 3G (described on pages 30 & 31 of our KAYAK catalog).
Both boats offer the surfing manners and quick maneuverability needed
to play in the big stuff.
Add outrigger, catamaran, and sailing options, and you have versatility
at its best!
Read the test report below about the sit-inside version, and you’ll
be convinced that our 18-6 SK is so much more than a run-of-the-mill
sit-on-top kayak...
Sea Kayaker Magazine,
Kayak Test Report
"The Eskimo 18-6, though designed and sold as an expedition
boat or cruise boat for larger paddlers, proved quite compatible
with smaller boats on our weekend trip, and even our smallest and
lightest female (5’1”) had no difficulty keeping it up
with the rest of us...
The first and lasting impression of sitting in the Eskimo is its
solid stability; a medium-weight paddler in a loaded boat can lean
over and stick his ear in the water without feeling that he is about
to capsize. This feeling of solid security has been achieved without
sacrifice in performance... in company with smaller boats, the Eskimo
with its amazing capacity ended up with all the communal gear and
other people’s personal gear they just could not jam in...”
