Might trade
The Valley Nordkapp RM is a rare and durable high performance rotomolded multi-layer polyethylene plastic sea kayak.
Low profile for fast day trips, or can be loaded through large hatches for overnighters or expedition.
Always fast, and becomes more stable with loads.
It needs no more description; if this kayak is right for you, then you already know everything about it. You know that it’s the indestructible duplicate of the legendary fiberglass Nordkapp.
17’ 9” x 21”
Keyhole oval cockpit of 1.4 skirt size (not the small almost round “ocean cockpit”)
Neoprene skirt with thick rubber rand is included (tunnel size L or XL).
Granite-look light grey color
Redfish sculpted foam aftermarket seat affixed to the floor provides the lowest center of gravity, cushion, grip, and low back support.
Welded and bonded thin plastic bulkheads don’t leak or shift or use cargo space like foam does.
Skeg slider, cable, and blade operate smoothly
All 3 VCP hatch covers are in excellent condition and coated with 303.
Stored indoors
Neoprene skirt included, no paddle or PFD
I was told by a prior owner that the orange lines on the hull are where a prior owner practiced plastic welding before welding on the thin straight wear strips. I can see that the lines cover superficial scratches, not deep gouges. Who knows??? Maybe the lines also deter sharks.
