Part-Ex Valley Etain 17-7 Kevlar/Carbon Orange/White

Season:2019

Brand:Valley

Code:PXVALET177

This Valley Etain 17-7 came to us in near-new condition. Sadly, our customer's circumstances changed and it has seen less than a dozen days on the water, but as such has plenty of life left for a new owner to enjoy. It was made in Valley's lightweight kevlar/carbon construction which makes it very easy to handle off the water - ideal after a long day of paddling.

At over 17' long, the Etain makes a great boat for longer trips, with plenty of volume for larger paddlers and bigger loads. The hull design makes for stable yet predictable expedition boat, without sacrificing playfulness as a day boat.

 

What Valley have to say about the Etain:-

Summary – Fast, straight tracking but still with the hint of playfulness that all our kayaks are famous for. The longer waterline, of the Etain, ensures that performance is maintained and handling remains predictable, even when laden.

Design – This kayak was designed intentionally with a very neutral hull-form i.e. Not aggressively swede-form (associated with racing kayaks) or fish-form (associated with many older sea kayak designs), this gives the kayak predictable handling and a balanced feel, irrespective of the conditions being paddled. Also having the widest point, at the paddler’s hips, you’ll also notice a real sense of connection between what you do and how the kayak reacts, making it an efficient but also rewarding kayak to paddle.

Other design features include a hull with a shallow to moderately ‘V’d’ keel for good initial stability, a long waterline length to promote forward speed and just enough rocker to give a good balance between tracking and maneuverability.


Conclusion - The Etain is designed to appeal to paddlers looking for an enjoyable to paddle, expedition-capable kayak that has a good turn of speed and tracks well. Already proven on several major expeditions, including: Justine Curgenven’s 2014 Kayaking The Aleutian Adventure.
