Valley Nordkapp Hm. Classic Orange  And White Sea Kayak. Approx 18 Feet Long.

Valley Nordkapp HM, classic orange and white sea kayak, new decklines and hatch. Condition is Used. This sea kayak is well used but water tight as far as I can tell. There are scratches on the underside of the hull, but a previous owner had painted the hull white, which has been scratching off making the hull look in a poorer condition than it is. These kayaks were very well engineered and built to last a long time.

This is the HM (Hull modified) version, which means that it has an extended fixed skeg to reduce weather cocking. This kayak is a classic.The boat is lovely to paddle. It's reasonably fast and I have found it to be very comfortable on longer journeys. I have fitted one new Kajaksport hatch, which is easy to get into, the other hatch is the original hatch, it works fine but can be a bit of a faff to open and close as it screws on. I have replaced the deck lines and elastics.

It has an ocean cockpit, which is smaller than most other cockpits, this means that your knees are closer together, great for paddling at speed, but makes the boat more awkward to get in and out of, particularly if the boat is floating. I really enjoy paddling this boat but I have no where to keep it except in my partner's garage and it very rarely gets used these days so I'm helping to make space in his garage, while giving someone else the opportunity to enjoy this boat. If you are into restoring classic boats, this boat would make an ideal project. Please see the pictures for a guide to the boat's condition. It's sold as seen.

The Valley Nordkapp HM is not a beginners boat but is better suited to someone with some touring or sea kayaking experience or a collector.
