NDK Romany 16
Posted by admin on October 8, 2010
The ROMANY 16 is a short, responsive, stable kayak both empty and loaded, excellent in following seas. Its super keyhole cockpit offers great fit for smaller to average size paddlers and allows for those with wider hips. The Romany tracks very well for its length; the high volume bow reduces plunging into waves. The maneuverability allows for good control in surf. Its comfort in rough water gives the paddler great confidence. One of the easiest rolling boats we know of. Originally designed as Nigel’s school boat, its broad function and high secondary stability makes it one of our favorite all around sea kayaks for day paddling, short trips, playing and instructing
Dimensions: 16’ x 21.5″. Cockpit: 32” x 15.5”. Weight: 54 lbs standard

Greg Paquin has been involved with Downunder Kayaking since 2007, leading instructional classes for clients. Greg led a moonlight paddle to Sheffield Island, several weeknight classes, and regularly scheduled ½ day Sunday classes. All of his programs were very well received. Greg was particularly popular with participants in Kayak for a Cause – clients that were looking for a kayaking ‘edge’. To this day clients of mine wistfully remember his sculling technique, and wonder if they’ll ever be that good! Greg was a joy to work with and I look forward to seeing him again in 2009. - Kim - Downunder Kayaking
