Prices: £1499.00 — £1579.00
Lightweight Compact Touring Kayak
The Delta Kayaks 12.10 is a versatile and highly-regarded light touring kayak that effectively bridges the gap between a recreational kayak and a full-sized sea kayak. Measuring 3.9m (12'10") in length and 63.6 cm (25") in width, it is compact and easy to handle, yet its design incorporates features typically found on much longer boats. Its extended keel and V-shaped, multi-chine hull provide excellent tracking and stability, while also offering a surprising amount of speed for its size. This makes the 12.10 well-suited for a wide range of paddling conditions, from calm lakes and rivers to larger bodies of water with some wind and chop.
A key highlight of the Delta 12.10 is its thoughtful and feature-rich design. It is constructed from a lightweight but durable thermoformed ABS plastic, which makes it easy to transport at just 18.6 kilograms (41lb), a significant advantage for solo paddlers. The kayak boasts ample dry storage for day trips or even long weekends, with two large, watertight compartments in the bow and stern. These are secured by Delta's proprietary Press-Lock hatch system, which uses hard-shell covers for a secure and simple seal. Additionally, a convenient low-profile day hatch is located in front of the cockpit, providing easy access to essentials while on the water.
Comfort and outfitting are also top priorities for the 12.10. The kayak features Delta's multi-position Contour II Seat System, which is ergonomically designed with padded, channel-vented foam for excellent support and airflow. This seat can be easily adjusted to fit a wide range of paddlers, ensuring a comfortable experience on extended outings. The cockpit itself is generously sized, with integrated thigh braces and adjustable foot pegs, allowing paddlers to fine-tune their fit. The deck rigging is recessed to prevent snagging and includes perimeter safety lines for added security, making the Delta 12.10 a capable and reliable choice for paddlers looking for a high-performance, compact kayak.
