The North Shore Atlantic RM is a plastic sea kayak that is perfect for multi day kayaking trips. featuring a 3 layer plastic construction, the Atlantic is tough, durable and offers extra rigidity over single layer kayaks. It's available in two sizes, the Atlantic and the Atlantic LV. Both feature a 3 hatch configuration along with several bulkheads. The decks of these kayaks also feature a full array of deck elastics, the hull of the kayak then features a retractable kayak skeg.
The cockpit is solidly fitted out with adjustable thigh braces and a good seat and back band combination, along with Yakima footrests. The retractable skeg is controlled via a wire slider.
The three hatch design offers enough storage for short multiday trips, with each compartment separated using foam bulkheads that are bonded in place. Forward of the front hatch is a recess for mounting a Silva 70P compass.
Overall the Atlantic is a very well featured and reasonably priced boat, with excellent handling characteristics. It's suitable for all paddlers, making a particularly good first sea kayak or fleet boat. If you're looking for a composite boat, have at look at the composite Atlantic or Venture Capella.
