"Orca" was the model name. I haven't seen many of them. I don't think it was a very good material for sea kayaks. In a Royalex canoe, the rails, seats and thwarts are extremely important with regard to structural strength. Without these parts the kayak had to be built in a manner that afforded no weight savings. Yeah, it was Royalex, but it was as heavy as a heavy glass boat.
