The design might be a classic British sea kayak, but the construction could not be more contemporary.

Unlike most kayaks in its class, the Capella RM is manufactured using a Triple Layer Process, affording it superior buoyancy, strength and rigidity compared to single layer polyethylene models.
The Capella RM is a superb all-round sea kayak, suitable for everything from relaxed expeditions of larger rivers, lakes and coastal areas, to open crossings and multi day trips in challenging conditions. The combination of performance, durability and versatility has already made the RM the choice of many instructors and centres around the world.

Further Specs:
Optimum load range (approx): 65-120kg / 143-265 lbs

Standard Features:
• Retractable Skeg
• Adjustable Footrest
• Adjustable Seat
• Ratchet Adjustable Backrest
• Day Hatch

Optional Extras:
• Rudder
• Silva 70P Compass
