How it stacks up
- Epic V5 ($1,800 in rotomolded plastic, $3,500+ in composite) — Celliers helped design the V5 and manufactured it for Epic for two years. The Gull is the design he drew after it, for less money.
- Stellar S14S Puffin

Yes — with 194 L of sealed hatch storage (86 L bow + 108 L stern), it doubles as a fast touring kayak.
