Nordkapp Classic

LENGTH 17'2" (523cm) WIDTH 21" (53cm) DEPTH 12" (30cm) WEIGHT* 49lbs (22.53kg)

Over the years there have been many version of the Nordkapp. The kayak we now refer to as the ‘Classic’ features the ocean cockpit and a round front hatch. Two options are available: standard hulled (the old HS) and the integral skegged/hard sterned model (HM). Both are cult classics. *Weight as for standard Diolen construction, weighed without hatches.

[ Standard ]  Retractable Skeg A slider fitted near the cockpit, operates a retractable skeg to ensure the kayak can be easily trimmed to suit all conditions.  Glass Reinforced Seam Outside seams have a hardwearing Diolen tape application.  Contoured Bulkhead Our contoured bulkhead somes as a standard feature. The curved form allows for flexion of the hull, particularly when stress is concentrated on a spot when running aground.  Ergonomic Seat System Our seat system includes an ergonomically contoured seat pan, three dimesional adjustable backband and padded customisable hip shims.  Ocean Cockpit The classic smaller Greenland style cockpit rim, which brings your foredeck elastics and chart a little closer to view.

[ Bespoke ]  Colour Gelcoat Options We keep these colours in stock at all times. Available for decks, hulls & outside seams.  HM Integrated Skeg The alternative hull shape with integral skeg/hard stern. Every bit as much a cult classic as the standard HS hull model.  Compac 50 Pump The Whale Compac 50 is a low profile underdeck bilge pump with a completely enclosed protected diaphragm. It's capable of pumping 49 litres per minute and has an easily removable clamp ring for quick maintenance.  Silva 70P Compass The Silva 70P Compas is a compact watertight unit which can be fitted vertically or at a sloping angle. It allows transverse tilting up to 30º, with unlimited tilting fore and aft. Double scale, with top and edge readings.  Reinforced Keel Strip Reduce wear and tear on your hull, with an additional diolen rubbing strip bonded to the keel line.  Take-apart Construction For those with special transportation requirements we can offer a sectional construction, for a bolt-together kayak.  Pro-Kevlar Construction Vacuum infusion Kevlar/carbon hull for reduced weight.  Ultra Kevlar Construction Top fight construction with vacuum infusion Kevlar/carbon for deck, hull and bulkheads.
