Pronounced: ‘kat-sa-la-no — from the native Coast Salish Squamish name, meaning “Lord of the Lake”

A traditional skin kayak concept with the unique Feathercraft features of portability. The signature low profile and graceful lines of this craft capture the imagination. The Khatsalano series can be used for multi-week expeditions. The paddler needs to choose gear carefully and pack efficiently, using smaller dry-bags. When paddling the kayak without gear, use inflated float bags to ensure sufficient flotation. The Khatsalano has a fast cruising speed, tracks well and carves turns easily with a lean. With the snug fitting cockpit, you become one with your kayak.

The Khatsalano-S:
For the “S” model, the skin of the kayak is cut fuller than the Khatsalano. The sponsons sit higher on the gunwales making for a slightly wider beam. This adds comfortable initial stability for the intermediate paddler. Because of the fuller skin, the sponsons need to be fully inflated for the best skin fit and kayak performance. The rudder is standard on the Khatsalano-S.
