The Capella 169 is for intermediate paddlers between 150-210 lb. It is playful and maneuverable. The high deck is good for paddlers who need LOTS of room. A lower deck would allow smaller paddlers to enjoy this boat, but as we don't have many kayaks for the taller paddler, the Capella 169 is a good addition to our fleet. Classic P&H design. Highly rockered, medium V hull, with soft edge and soft chine. Similar Kayaks: NDK Romany HV, Necky Elaho HV, Necky Chatham 17
P&H Kayaks says: This mainstay of the P&H Range has all of the design characteristics expected of a classic British sea kayak. Its moderate 'V' hull provides a good mix of tracking performance and comforting initial stability whilst soft chines give responsive edging coupled with confidence inspiring secondary stability.
Like all kayaks in the Exploration range, the Capella is designed to excel as a sea kayaking all-rounder; featuring sufficient manoeuvrability to explore a coastline's nooks and crannies, whilst retaining plenty of speed for long open crossings.
