Overview The Explorer is SKUK's flag ship.  The expeditions it has completed says it all.  Japan, New Zealand, Great Britain, Iceland, Ireland, South Georgia, Easter Island, Tasmania, Newfoundland etc...  It is not the fastest expedition kayak but is predictable and reliable.  You know how its going to react and that the construction can withstand anything you throw at it.
Specifications
There has been a demand for smaller sea kayaks, especially as the number of female sea kayakers grow. Instead of producing a new kayak NDK decided to modify the Romany and Explorer.  For these models a LV (Low Volume option will be available.) All kayaks have modified cockpits and reduced volume. The hulls will essentially are the same.

The LV kayaks have been fitted with a new Keyhole cockpit rim customised to fit smaller kayakers.
The rim is 3.5" (87mm) shorter than the standard and 1" (25mm) narrower with the leg braces brought back towards the paddler. All kayaks have less volume and a re-designed front deck.

Deck: 2.5 oz C.S mat plus foredeck rescue patch of extra 1.5 oz mat.
Hull: 2.5 oz C.S mat plus 8 oz cloth. 2 inch keel strip. Double thickness reinforced bow and stern.
Inside seam: 2 inch diolen plus 3 inch glass cloth.
Outside seam: 1 inch glass cloth
