DESIGN STATEMENT
The Atlantic LV RM is the long-awaited rotomolded version of this great modern British sea kayak. It was introduced as a solid performing 16-foot kayak that gives reassurance to a beginner and excels in the hands of an expert. Like the Shore Line, be it day, play or touring, the Atlantic really does it all! Featuring an identical hull as the composite namesake and sized for the medium to large paddler, the Atlantic LV RM has the same combination of shallow-V hull and moderate chines for a blend of speed, responsiveness and predictability. The tough RM polyethylene shell and several unique design features make this one of the safest and best-value plastic sea kayaks currently available. The larger 17-foot Atlantic is also available in both composite and rotomolded constructions.
