Kayaks

Scope note

Use specifically for single-seat native arctic North American canoes with watertight skin covers over a light wooden framework propelled by a double-bladed paddle, and generally for small boats resembling these made commercially of a variety of materials and used in sports. For similar North American skin boats but larger and seating more than one person, use "umiaks."
