The XT is longer and deeper than the Merlin LT making it highly suitable to larger paddlers and has substantially more storage capacity as well as a larger cockpit and seat. Still small and light enough to easily carry, this dry riding kayak is fast, with a performance hull that tracks straight, carves easily and, like the LT, is indifferent to the wind. It is equipped with hatches, bulkheads, carrying toggles, re-entry bungies, front deck lines and spare paddle holder. Cockpit is available with or without thighbraces. Rudder Free Design. In 1996 we gave “plastic kayaks” a whole new meaning with our Carbonlite 2000 technology. Using a high performance thermoplastic sheet and applying heat and vacuum, we are able to make a kayak that performs like fiberglass and has clear advantages over other plastics: dimensional stability (no warping or denting), higher heat distortion temperatures, hard glossy finishes, easy repairability, superior UV resistance and lighter weights. Eddyline is committed to manufacturing in an environmentally responsible manner. Carbonlite 2000 is 100% recyclable (as are the bulkheads, cockpit and seat), all scrap plastic is reused and virtually no waste is generated. Eddyline is the first company to apply this new technology to the construction of kayaks and Carbonlite 2000 is an Eddyline exclusive.
