The composite Northshore Atlantic is actually bigger inside than the 3 layer plastic version but yes the cockpit is slightly shorter. I am 6 ft and dont have any problems with this despite my age and dodgy knee. I can still sit in the composite one with my knees together in the middle which I find p...

Hi JPS4 Is it the standard size Sirona or is it the Sirona 15.10 which is a lot smaller? I would have thought the 15.10 should work well for a 60kg person.
Its worth noting that there was a much older Avocet plastic that was a different size to the one that the Sironas replaced.

Here is a bit of info about who owns what. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confluence_Outdoor
I often use spares from one company for another companies boats as, not surprisingly they have many parts in common.
In the UK some of those brands are "controlled" by Palm and some by Gaybo.

I have the Peak Adventure with the shoulder entry and find it works really well. very comfortable and the peak material is very hard wearing. Yes I get a wee bit damp just around the neck but its worth it. great value for money and Peak have a great repair service in the UK.

Hi Steve,
I have a demo Kokopelli Nirvana in Aberfeldy Steve if you would like to give it a try. I am also retired so can meet during the week. Not sure how long I will have the demo for.

The Etain 17.5RM and Sirona 16.1 RM are supposed to be the same fit and I have found that is the case. I find the 16.1Rm stable and very manoeuverable.
It is a slightly bigger fit than the Atlantic RM.

Valley Gemini RM which is smaller than the Sirona 16.1 RM and would suit your size.

Hi Simon, its in Aberfeldy, its £950 Its in good condition and includes the carrying rucksack and original german instructions. Yes its 12 ft 6 inches It has been kept erected inside.
I will get some photos. Where are you ?

The Klepper Aerius 2000 I am selling is a folding kayak if that is of any interest.

In good condition. Comes with rucksack carrying bag. In Aberfeldy.
Only £950

Yes the Etain 17.5 Rm has a bit more room than the Atlantic RM . Enough to make all the difference to the comfort as I am 90kg and 6 ft The 17.7 is quite a lot bigger. Sea Kayak Oban usually have the Atlantic & Etain 17 in stock so if you are in that part of the UK you can always sit in them both to...

What ever you get for the sea I would make sure it has a skeg or rudder to help when you have any wind at all . The perception expression has one and the carolina doesnt. The new Wavesport Hydra may well suit your size and it comes from the same factory as the Perception.

I think it may be a bit small, but definitely worth a try both for fit and also in some lumpy water to see if the handling suits you.

You get the seats with leg lifters in Wavesport and Perception Sea Kayaks and these can be bought via your local dealer. Tahe/Zegul also produced a seat with leg lifters.

Sea Kayak Oban have a Valley Sirona 15.10 which has replaced the Avocet LV.
The Sirona 15.10 is a small boat.

You could also try the P&H Cetus LV which weighs about 22.5 kg for standard construction or the Northshore Atlantic LV or the Valley Sirona 16.1 . I do wear bibs & a Cag most of the time and try not to go in the water. If I am playing at the Falls of Lora I would use a paddlesuit (ie with a neoprene...

Sea kayak Oban have the Hydra and the Sirona available to demo . They are very different in both fit and performance.

Composite sea kayaks especially are getting lighter and lighter. I would definitely pay the extra to get a boat that I can easily carry whether its a river boat or a sea kayak.
