The P&H Cetus comes in standard &  low volume versions.  Soon it will be available in a mid-size as well. The Cetus MV project is aimed at folks in the 160-220 lb range.  Yeah, that is sort of the average guy size range.  It’s certainly true that the original Cetus (see “original coke”, & “original or extra crispy”)  is just fine for most average sized paddlers but for some the MV will be a bit more tuned in.  You can’t complain about having options.  As coaches we’re always on about boat fit, and a mid-size version will provide a better fitting Cetus for many paddlers.  For some this will mean better, easier and more precise boat control than they would have had without the MV version.  Personally I see lots of advantages to smaller boats as it is, especially for those of us who are not circumnavigating Africa regularly. 

What you are looking at here is an X-Boat. Not the final version, but a test build.  Brian Day over at P&H Sea Kayaks tells me that that this will probably not be the last  before we see the final production version.  Still though, it’s nice to see some photos of a work in process.

Thank you to Brian Day of P&H for sending along the photos to share.  You can follow P&H on Twitter and on Facebook if you’re into the social media thing.  While I own a P&H Scorpio (Plastic Version of the Cetus), keep in mind I’ve only had a day’s worth of review time in the Cetus itself. I found the Cetus quite impressive on flat water, but still need more time with one in mixed conditions.
