The SeaBird Designs R Scott HV is the large capacity expedition version of the “SeaBird Designs R Scott” family, suitable for the larger paddler and carrying expedition loads. SeaBird Designs R Scott HV still retains the maneuverability and stability, comfort, and seaworthiness of its smaller versions.
The hull has a deep rocker curvature, shallow V form with flat bottomed mid section, and hard chines, allowing the kayak to edge and carve well in turns. The rocker and high volume ends make for an easy boat to surf, equally at home rock hopping or playing in tide races. The “fish form” below water lines and “swede form” deck profile gives a sleek and easily driven craft to allow you to cover the miles. The high fore deck and key hole cockpit with a comfortable seat allow a dynamic paddling position. Fit with a 4 hatch deck layout, two large hatches with ample storage for expedition use with day hatches in front and behind the cockpit. Deck lines and bungees are for the storage of spare paddles and gear.
Scott HV model is ready for a unique VKV security system. Read more about it here: SeaBird Patong Set
