Tom, from Chicago, Illinois built his Sea Tour 17-R folding kayak over the winter and has been enjoying it since spring. Tom reports...It tracks great, is lightweight and very quick. I love it!..." The kayak incorporates "arched" inwales, aluminum stem plates, cedar plank flooring, and a PVC skin.

Tom plays drums in the 60's group "The Buckinghams" so the insignia on his kayak is the spindle from a 45 record.
