The P & H Virgo MZ3 is a plastic sea kayak, is available in three size options: Virgo LV, Virgo MV, and Virgo HV. Each size corresponds to a different length: 14 feet for LV, 14.5 feet for MV, and 15 feet for HV.
Designed and manufactured in the UK by P & H, the Virgo MZ3 features a single-layer, high-density polyethylene shell, ensuring durability against bumps and knocks during sea kayaking trips. Its well-sized cockpit offers easy access and is equipped with defined thigh braces for stability. The seat unit includes a backrest and seat pad for comfort and support, complemented by adjustable pedal footrests for additional comfort.
Features:
A V-hull cuts cleanly through the water and tracks beautifully but softens towards the centre of the boat for comfortable stability and easy release.
Moderate rocker allows the Virgo to pick up and carry speed efficiently when flat but swing around effortlessly on edge.
Hard chines engage for carving performance when edging into the turn.
A moderately steep bow ensures a high proportion of the length acts as effective waterline for hull speed.
Flared bow edges give a dry ride through choppy water and lift the boat over waves on the paddle out from the shore.
Carefully planned bow deck geometry provides stiffness and strength for deep water rescues.
A low, ergonomically shaped rear deck allows easy rolling and re-entry, with a paddle shaft recess for bracing during entry.
Bulkheaded bow and stern main hatches with market-leading KajakSport hatch covers for secure storage and a reliable seal.
Functional details such as split paddle recesses, a drop-forged, anodised aluminium security point, a paddle park, and a full complement of deck lines and bungees.
