This is a legendary design by Derek Hutchinson, as a fast, long range, deep sea expedition kayak, capable of withstanding the severe storm conditions which can be found on the open ocean.
It is an extremely versatile and robust fiberglass British built kayak by P&H Ltd and seems appropriate for all skill levels. High stability and ease of handling give a feeling of security to the beginner, whilst its seaworthiness and load carrying qualities makes this kayak suitable for serious expeditions. The stable midsection is coupled with an almost straight keel and a specially moulded stern to hold the kayak on track in a quartering Sea.
The high powerful bow and straight stern, which is reminiscent of the hunting skin boats of Labrador and Greenland, is designed to slice down onto oncoming seas and then slice cleanly out again, thus giving the paddler a dry ride in steep oncoming head seas. The icefloe is a straight running kayak and needs no rudder. Turning can be easily carried out by simply leaning the kayak over and using a sweep stroke, which allows the kayak to spin around
