"Expedition kayak in plastic". 3 layers plastic gives increased stiffness. Whitewater grade outer shell. A stiffer, stronger, more scratch resistant plastic, then on other plastic sea kayaks. A stiffer kayak transfers into a more efficient kayak. Less effected by the sun and temperature (water & air) then on other single layer and three layer kayaks. The thigh hooks have been improved and seat will be improved (thigh hooks like Pyranha WW boat). Welded bulkheads are bomb proof. Molded in recessed deck fittings. Rudder compatible. For paddlers between 140-220. Will appeal to kayakers that fit Necky Chatham 16, VCP Avocet RM.

P&H Kayaks says: 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.
