Dimension Kayaks, a Canadian company, makes a sit on top model called a Spirit. It's 11' long, 28" wide and is described as a "recreational" boat.

Spirit seems to be one of the more popular names. Folbot had a Spirit Classic (15-0) glass boat mentioned in the 1986 Canoe Mag. buyers Guide. Then there is also the Old Town http://www.otccanoe.com version of the Dimension Spirit sit-on-top called the "Spirit" (11-0). Vermont Canoe Products has a Spirit (17-2). Most likely the boat she paddled was the Walden Spirit (14-0) http://www.waldenkayak.com . Then there is also the Wet Willy Spirit (16-9) with a wood deck and a glass hull http://www.kayaks.org . It comes in high and low volume versions too. Superior Kayaks has or had a skin on frame Spirit Hawk (17-6). Finally Caretta Kayaks http://www.carettakayaks.com has a woodstrip Spirit (19-0) Or maybe it was a mispronunciation of our Mariner Sprite (16-6) or Northwest kayak's Esprite.
