P&H - Virgo MV - CLX

A polyethylene sea kayak that handles the full arc of a day on the water, from loading at the car to the last stroke home, the Virgo MV CLX is a compact, well-equipped touring kayak built for paddlers who take their weekends seriously. At 14'5" with a 23-inch beam and a Large deck fit, it's the mid-volume Virgo sized for a broad range of paddlers looking for a capable, confidence-inspiring boat at an accessible price point.

The V-hull tracks cleanly and softens toward the centre for stable, comfortable cruising, while moderate rocker lets the Virgo MV pick up speed efficiently on flat water and swing around readily on edge. Hard chines engage when you carve into a turn, the steep bow maximises effective waterline for hull speed, and flared bow edges keep the ride dry in chop and lift the bow over waves on the way out from shore. Bow deck geometry is reinforced for deep water rescues, and the low rear deck makes rolling and re-entry genuinely approachable. The paddle shaft recess supports controlled water entries.

KajakSport hatch covers on the bulkheaded bow and stern hatches deliver a reliable seal for gear storage, and P&H's Connect outfitting system keeps you comfortable and dialled in on long paddling days across Canadian lakes and coastal routes. Split paddle recesses, a drop-forged anodised aluminium security point, a paddle park, and full deck lines and bungees round out a thorough feature set.
