P&H Delphin 155

Very cool new kayak from P&H Sea Kayaks that creates a whole new family of kayak to their Cetus and Capella lines.

I just unwrapped this so I have not had a time to do a thorough review of it but from the bit of time I spent on a lake last week with one it has a suprising amount of speed for a 15.5′ kayak, a very predicatable and reliable secondary stability and turns with just the slightest initiation but tracks in a very well mannered behavior when on an even keel.

There are some innovative changes with the channelized hard chines on the bow and the sharp rails toward the stern.  With the kayak weighted toward the rear the highly rockered stern stays in the water when paddling but on edge the stems break free for easy carving or skidding turns.
