The Romany Explorer was designed in 1993 with the following features:

• A low rear deck for easy rolling.
• A white water cockpit. This gives the kayaker excellent grip, control and allows a quick exit if needed!
• Three compartments, including an offset day hatch, allowing the kayaker to reach into the compartment whilst at sea.
• Sloping rear bulkhead behind the seat, allowing the kayak to be emptied by lifting the bow (no X rescue necessary).
• Polished deck recesses.
• Plenty of room for large feet or warm winter footwear.
• Exceptional manoeuvrability, with direction stability. Very fast in following seas.
• Large round hatches
• Minimum weather cocking in strong winds

The Explorer has been designed as our main expedition kayak and has a large carrying capacity. In 2000 it was used on a one-month expedition to Antarctica carrying all supplies with no support. Ideal for the medium to large kayaker.
