The Sitka 145 blends the tracking of Eddyline’s Fathom touring line with a more playful feel, on a hard-chine hull with light rocker. It weighs 47 lbs thanks to Carbonlite. Three watertight hatches (10 inch round, 6 inch day and 17 inch oval) with dual bulkheads, a sliding Infinity seat and performance foot braces set it up for distance.

Good to know
- Touring hulls fit closer than rec boats, so check the 33.2 by 17.5 inch cockpit against your size, and sit in one if you can.
- The 6 inch day hatch in front of the cockpit is the place for a phone, snacks and sunscreen, so keep it packed with the essentials.
