The VE Racelite
“See ya later alligator”
RaceLite - THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF TOUGH FOR EVERYDAY PADDLING, FITNESS AND ENDURANCE RACING EXCELLENCE.
-
VE RaceLite (RL) - Built for Racing Excellence
RaceLite is our lightest kayak, crafted from Carbon, Kevlar, and Innegra for speed. Weighing approximately 12.5-13kg, it's designed for performance, but being lighter, it's less robust than the VE Hybrid and VE Cross models. Priced from $4350, including GST, the RL offers great value while delivering top-notch speed and stiffness. Though tough, it’s best suited for those prioritising weight over ultimate durability.
Please note that these kayaks are meticulously handcrafted, and as such, minor weight variations may occur.
-
The RaceLite (RL) is designed for competitive paddlers who prioritise speed and lightweight performance.
Ideal for racers seeking to gain every possible advantage in endurance river races, and competitive club events, and maximum efficiency for the athlete.
The RL is perfect for those who demand a kayak that can cut through the water with minimal resistance.
While it’s still tough, its lightweight construction makes it best suited for experienced paddlers who are comfortable with handling a kayak that sacrifices some robustness for agility and speed.
The RL is for those who are ready to push their limits and leave the competition behind.

HOW WE MADE IT...
Construction is Carbon / Kevlar without a core. This keeps a little give in the boat so that it is far more durable than those with a honeycomb/foam core which makes them very stiff but very fragile – Andrew developed this build over 20 years of making downriver capable kayaks and we’ve been improving it ever since. The latest change is upgrading to Vinyl-Ester (VE) resin.
WHAT DO THOSE MATERIALS MEAN?

Twaron - Kevlar/Carbon
Delivers superior abrasion resistance while also keeping you, the paddler, safe by holding everything together should the worse happen. This makes our kayaks perfect for rugged adventures, providing durability without adding unnecessary weight, so you can paddle confidently in any condition. here.
Kevlar / Aramid
Plain-Weave
Carbon 90/90
