New for 2012! The Vector 14 with Rudder is the newest boat in the Necky Sit-on-Top line. Designed differently than most sit-on-tops, the Vector 14 is designed to have excellent secondary stability while its primary stability allows the paddler to lean turn and sit the boat up on edge. This new boat is sure to take your sit-on-top kayaking to a whole new level!
Features
- Necky touring seat with backband
Necky Touring Seat is made of durable molded foam, this seat is designed specifically to reduce pressure on your sciatic nerve. By actually improving flow around the gluteus maximus, it helps prevent your feet and legs from falling asleep when you're paddling longer distances. For added comfort, the seat does not retain water. It also features an integral tether that attaches to the seat of the boat, keeping it in place when car-topping. The supportive back band provides ample lumbar support, movement and comfort for most body types. Many of our touring kayaks feature this seat.

The aluminum alloy used in the standard rudder can take lots of abuse, bending, and rebending before it breaks. With some care this aluminum rudder should last a lifetime. When deployed you use the foot pedals to guide the kayak to the right or the left. A rudder is used for keeping your boat on track, especially when the weather conditions change. It can help make your journey safer and more enjoyable.
