The NEW Romany S RM
The Romany S RM is a plastic version of the Romany S. Identical in design to its fibreglass sister, it’s the ideal day or weekend kayak for the paddler who loves to rock hop.
The Romany S RM has the same boxy rails and flattish hull, offering good stability and handling when surfing or in a following sea. It has more volume in the rear compartments than the standard Romany, while keeping a low back deck to facilitate an easy layback roll.
T
he kayak is designed to fit kayakers from approx 5’4” to 6’4” tall. It has the same wide keyhole cockpit as the Romany S, and shares the same shaped foredeck which allows for large feet up to size 11/12. The fibreglass seat can easily be raised to suit smaller paddlers.
Unusually for a plastic sea kayak, the Romany S RM has a fibreglass cockpit rim, so you can choose from a wider range of spraydecks – nylon, neoprene or Reed Chillcheater. You can select the colour of the rim and seat (standard colour is black).
Like all SKUK kayaks, the Romany S RM has a factory fitted skeg, decklines with recessed fittings, three hatches, waterproof internal bulkheads and includes a compass recess. The kayak comes in a choice of single layer or slightly stiffer tripe layer construction. It is available in one colour (light orange).

SKUK sea kayaks are fitted with an adjustable skeg which counteracts the kayak’s tendency to turn towards the wind - to weather-cock.
Our SKUK sea kayaks are now supplied with the manufacturer's wire skeg. If you prefer, this can be swapped out for one of Kari-Tek's own skeg designs which offer superior performance and reliability. Click here for more details.
