The P & H Cetus is an expedition sea kayak that is available in three different sizes. It is also available in several different levels of composite construction. If you like the sound of this but would rather a plastic sea kayak; check out the P & H Scorpio.
P & H have designed the Cetus for expedition kayaking. In order to meet these tough demands it has several levels of composite construction. The Cetus features a long waterline that offers great forward speed; this is then enhanced by the retractable skeg that's located in the back of the kayak. This is easily deployed and retracted by a slider mechanism that is located on the side of the kayak, adjacent to the cockpit.
In order to store all of your expedition gear, the Cetus has been fitted with four hatched. There are two hatches on the front and a further two located on the rear. The front foremost hatch features a 24cm and the second front hatch, located in front of the cockpit is a day pod, this has a 15cm diameter. Immediately behind the cockpit is a 20cm day hatch and right at the rear there is a large oval hatch which measures 42cm x 30cm. In order to maintain the options for carrying plenty of kit, the Cetus kayak also features a full array of deck lines.
Each end of the kayak is fitted with grab handles which help make handling the kayak to the water’s edge nice and easy. The cockpit features a comfy padded seat with padded backrest to give support, further comfort is then achieved by the adjustable pedal footrest.
The P & H Cetus is a sea kayak that is suitable for the addition of a kayak sailing rig. This is best fitted at the time of production as you can then also have the front skeg fitted. A kayak sailing rig is perfect for use on longer kayak expeditions. Why paddle when you can have a go at kayak sailing!?
