The Virgo is a compact but uncompromising sea/touring kayak for the weekend warriors, at a length which provides ample hull speed for short to medium journeys whilst keeping the boat weight to a minimum, making it easier to handle all the way from lifting it off the car, through a trip full of unique experiences, to lifting it back onto the car at the end of a great adventure.
the design
Moderate rocker allows the Virgo to pick up and carry speed efficiently when flat but swing around effortlessly on edge.
A low, ergonomically shaped rear deck allows easy rolling and re-entry, with a paddle shaft recess for bracing during entry.
Carefully planned bow deck geometry provides stiffness and strength for deep water rescues.
Functional details such as split paddle recesses, a drop-forged, anodised aluminium security point, a paddle park, and a full complement of deck lines and bungees.
A V-hull cuts cleanly through the water and tracks beautifully but softens towards the centre of the boat for comfortable stability and easy release.
Flared bow edges give a dry ride through choppy water and lift the boat over waves on the paddle out from the shore.
