Valley Etain 17.7 Rm Expedition Sea Kayak With Fitted Compass In Mint Condition.

Valley Etain 17.7 RM Expedition Sea Kayak with Silva 70p Compass in mint condition. This Is my son's kayak which has been used (briefly) no more than half a dozen times since new - hence it is in immaculate condition with only a few light scratches on the hull. Massive saving on the list price of just under £2000 as equipped. Only selling as he has discovered paddle boarding. It is a kayak ideally suited for the medium to large paddler and is ready for expeditions with keyhole cockpit, skeg, 4 hatches, compass and fully adjustable footrests.

The 4th hatch is the fully removable type making the cockpit very dry. Great reviews on-line. Paddle and virtually new spray also available separately if required. UK purchasers only please. Inspection and collection from my home near Southampton.

Any questions please ask but this is what the manufacturers say: Valley Etain Triple Layer Plastic Expedition Sea KayakThe Valley Etain RM is a fast and spacious expedition sea kayak with room for plenty of kit.The Valley Etain is a true expedition sea kayak. With a fast v-shaped hull and plenty of storage. Compared to the older Valley designs we all know, the Valley Etain has better initial stability due to its shallower V section hull and swede form design. Don't be fooled though, the Valley Etain is still a lively ride and will perform in the roughest of sea conditions. The hull also has a moderate amount of rocker which allows you to still have a fun and once on edge the Etain sits on a solid wall of secondary stability and allows you to turn positively and effortlessly.

The Valley Etain is fitted out with everything you would expect to see from a top end expedition sea kayak including 2 day hatches and 2 cavernous bow and stern hatches. The Valley Etain also has a drop down skeg. This helps with directional stability in windy conditions. The Skeg blade is large and also wire operated which is longer lasting and easier to replace than standard string operated skegs. The Valley Etain RM retains all the features of the composite model built in an advanced triple-layer polyethylene construction making it rigid, durable and buoyant.
