The Romany Explorer was designed in 1993 with the following features:

  • A low rear deck for easy rolling.

  • A white water cockpit. This gives the kayaker excellent grip, control and allows a quick exit if needed!

  • Three compartments, including an offset day hatch, allowing the kayaker to reach into the compartment whilst at sea.

  • Sloping rear bulkhead behind the seat, allowing the kayak to be emptied by lifting the bow (no X rescue necessary).

  • Polished deck recesses.

  • Plenty of room for large feet or warm winter footwear.

  • Exceptional manoeuvrability, with direction stability. Very fast in following seas.

  • Large round hatches

  • Minimum weather cocking in strong winds
