The Etain is their modern answer to that legacy: an expedition-capable kayak that doesn't demand an expedition to justify taking it out. Its speed, tracking, and load-resistance make it equally at home on a day paddle or a week-long coastal traverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px;text-align:left;\"\u003eThe hull is intentionally neutral — \u003cem\u003eneither fish-form nor aggressively Swede-form\u003c\/em\u003e — which gives it predictable handling regardless of conditions or load. The widest point sits at the paddler's hips, creating a direct connection between body and boat. A shallow-to-moderate V keel delivers initial stability without sacrificing performance; moderate rocker keeps it lively without wandering. The result is a kayak that tracks well on an even keel, carves cleanly on edge, and surfs with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px;text-align:left;\"\u003eIn triple-layer polyethylene, the Etain RM is stiffer and more durable than most plastic sea kayaks on the market — with welded bulkheads (not foam), Valley rubber hatches, a retractable skeg, a day hatch, and a front 4th hatch. At Kayak Ontario, it is the hull we recommend most often to serious paddlers who want one boat that does everything well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.22em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;border-top:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);padding-top:14px;margin:28px 0 14px;text-align:left;\"\u003eAvailable Hulls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;overflow-x:auto;margin:12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;font-size:12px;white-space:nowrap;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px 14px;font-size:10px;letter-spacing:0.1em;text-transform:uppercase;opacity:0.5;font-weight:500;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1);\"\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eBlue · Red · Yellow · Orange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e17-7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 14px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.06);\"\u003eBlue · Red\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:11px;opacity:0.5;margin:6px 0 0;text-align:left;\"\u003eSolid colour throughout.
