The Brady Bunch can get your large family (or heavy gear) there and back again, whether your destination be your mooring or your favorite beach across the bay. The thole pins are used with recycled rope grommets (provided) to hold the oars securely- 8′ oars recommended. The wide flat bottom provides ample initial stability, while the generous rocker, side flare, and fore and aft overhangs give the Brady Bunch a seaworthiness not found in modern production dinghies. Built with durability, comfort, and capacity in mind, this hard working little rowboat can get it all done.

The EXPLORER is one of the standards for the modern expedition sea kayak, used by more professional paddlers than perhaps any other model kayak. With its added length it offers longer glide while journeying and faster acceleration when in the large tide races. It has Nigel’s extremely reassuring secondary stability. Its volume has carried many of us for month long expeditions even in the Antarctic. Nigel’s super comfortable keyhole cockpit maximizes contact with the paddler’s thighs which increases control, enhances stroke power and generates high confidence in the larger jobbly rough waters. This boat has the new adjustable performance seat and MIKCo’s choice of skeg. It has again received a Readers Choice award from Sea Kayaker Magazine.

The PILGRAM EXPEDITION is a highly responsive fast, expedition sea kayak designed for the small or slim paddler. Under 20″, the narrow hull offers easy acceleration and speed. It is quick from edge to edge so easily turned and controlled in wind with a minimum of weather cocking even in strong winds. This kayak is as easy to roll as any Greenland style kayak, with its small footprint. The PILGRAM EXPEDITION’s hull was designed specifically for the lighter paddler, whether small or long and slim. This multiple-fit option is due to the raised knee bumps on either side of the cockpit, that accomodate the smaller paddler needing greater leverage for strength, and the tall, thin paddler with a longer femur.

The Pilgram Expedition is fitted with the performance glass seat (with two widths available), and has MIKco’s recommended Kari slider with new composite skeg box system. Like all NDK’s, this kayak has a keyhole cockpit that gives excellent contact, grip and hence control while allowing quick exit as need be, and a sloping middle bulkhead behind the seat for easy emptying of water.

It has a custom front bulkhead that increases front storage space, reduces water in an emergency and allows for the positive, comfortable foam bulkhead footbrace. So come demo Nigel’s version of smaller boats, whether for an hour or a weekend.

The ROMANY SURF, is a great day/play/weekend boat that supports a larger paddler, or one seeking a higher knee height. It has a wider keyhole and more volume in the rear to support the paddler’s extra weight and gear at speed. The Surf has more initial stability than the Romany, and with its flatter hull and harder chines, its crisper and quicker downwave or in bumpy water. This is an all around 16 footer, and is layup in Nigel’s proven expedition weight hull, deck and bulkheads. Its fitted with a standard length bulkhead and MIKCo’s preferred skeg system, this is a beautiful boat in Iceland’s colors.

This kayak is more stable than the Pilgrim Expedition.

MIKCo recommends fitting it with Nigel’s foam seat, but it can be fitted with the new High performance glass seat which comes in two sizes. The kayak has an extremely low rear deck for easy rolling, a shorter, narrower keyhole cockpit that gives excellent grip, control and allows quick exit if need be. The sloping bulkhead behind the seat allows the kayak to be emptied by lifting only the bow, no x-rescue is necessary. This one has a custom front bulkhead and the near unkinkable Kari skeg system.
