British Style Sea Kayak with Skeg & Rudder
The Riot Brittany 16.5 is a boat designed for British waters. With a moderate width it boasts excellent initial stability, this really sets it apart from other sea kayaks. The Brittany opens up sea kayaking to a different market, and allows beginners to experience the sea in a longer more focused boat.
The Riot Brittany is suitable for all abilities and is ideal for those who want a boat that can do it all. It has plenty of storage with three hatches with sealed bulkheads make it ideal for weekenders and day trips and is fast and agile and great ocean play. Its high performance contour outfitting will offer you enough paddling and give you plenty of support. Also complete with the ability to mount a compass in the recessed area at the bow of the kayak. It truly makes an elegant fully featured sea kayak that’s fast and agile yet offers confidence inspiring stability.
The Riot Brittany has a rockered hull shape and rudder which gives it excellent manoeuvrability and makes it easier to turn, but at 16 foot long, it is still capable of tracking in a straight line with relative ease. The drop-down skeg will help with this straight line tracking in windy conditions and allow less experience paddlers to cover distance with ease.
