The Sitka 150 is built from Carbonlite and weighs 49 lbs, so one person can load and carry it. Its shallow-V, hard-chine hull tracks well and responds to edging, and a retractable skeg fine-tunes tracking in wind and current. Three hatches, including a 6 inch day hatch, and an Infinity seat with hip and thigh pads set it up for day trips and light overnights.

- Pack heavy gear low and close to the cockpit to keep the long hull balanced.
KayakDIY take: A light touring boat built for bigger paddlers is not that common, so it is worth a look. For more options, browse all my kayak reviews.
