The Nordkapp RM

The most famous sea kayak in the world is now available in what is probably the best roto-moulded polyethylene (PE) construction of any manufacturer. This kayak retains the legendary Nordkapp handling and incorporates all of the features expected of an expedition-capable kayak. A rare combination of performance and value. A favourite of British Sea Kayak Instructors, as the performance is virtually on a par with the Nordkapp in composite, with the durable qualities of Valley’s rugged polyethylene lay-up.

Features:

 

Retractable Skeg

A slider fitted near the cockpit, operates a retractable skeg to ensure the kayak can be easily trimmed to suit all conditions.

 

Triple-layer Polyethylene

High density polyethylene moulded in a three stage process to create a superior triple-layer laminate construction. Benefits include reduced weight, greater stiffness and abrasion resistance.

 

Welded Contoured Bulkhead

Our contoured bulkhead somes as a standard feature. The curved form allows for flexion of the hull, particularly when stress is concentrated on a spot when running aground. Welded in place for the best possible construction.

 

Ergonomic Seat System

Our seat system includes an ergonomically contoured seat pan, three dimesional adjustable backband and padded customisable hip shims.

 

Moulded-in Deck Fittings

Corrosion free brass lugs are moulded into the deck, producing a hole free deck rigging system, more reliable and drier!

 

 

Colour Options

Choose from six colours for your triple-layer polyethylene kayak.
