The Capella RM is a superb all-round sea kayak, suitable for all kinds of paddling, from relaxed expeditions of larger rivers, lakes and coastal areas, to open crossings and multi day trips in challenging conditions. The combination of performance, durability and versatility has already made the RM the choice of many instructors and centres around the world.
The RM is available in two flavors: the 160 and the larger 166:
