RY 12FT Sit-On-Top Pedal Drive Solo Kayak offers extended leg-room and increased storage capacity. It has a plethora of features that an experienced kayak fisherman or distance travelers will love while remaining compact, lightweight, and agile in craftsmanship.
The core of RY12 sit-on-top single pedal kayak is a streamlined roto-molded UV-protected HDPE hull measuring 12-feet long and nearly 3-feet wide. No matter the conditions, the 12ft is ready to cruise: it rides currents, slices through the chop, and glides over still water with effortless grace. The craft weighs only 70 so carrying it is as easy as you think thanks to the built-in handles at the bow and stern and on either side of the hull.
However, it's the pedal drive system that should most excite. The bicycle-style pedals turn a high-efficiency propeller, allowing you to tuck your paddle into the kayak's paddle keeper and go hands-free. The pedals have adjustable straps to keep your feet secure, and the entire system can be removed for traditional paddling if you prefer or upgraded with a trolling motor for greater power and speed.
Real Young Kayak's 12ft single pedal kayak can be controlled via its hand-operated rudder, which allows for sharp, precise turns or slow, wide arcs as conditions merit. It features a large watertight hatch set into the bow and an additional compartment tucked behind the seat, both of which feature dry bag inserts and that can safely stow items such as a wallet, keys, and snacks.
Real Young Kayak's 12ft now has an anchor trolley so any avid fisherman can set their location out at sea without drifting and losing their next catch. The kayak also has a large rear cargo area with bungee tie-down straps; this area is ideal for bulky items such as a tackle box or dry bag. Scupper holes allow water to drain out of the kayak and can be sealed with included scupper plugs. We have also added drainage in the nose so kayaks now have a faster way to drain out at the end of the day. Fishermen will
appreciate the duo of flush-mounted rod holders that can keep a rod out of the way during travel or keep lines in the water during trolling, and all paddlers will be thrilled by the comfortable, ergonomic aluminum frame upright seat that comes with the kayak.
