Necky's Recreational Touring Kayaks span the gap between their touring and recreational lines. They are shorter and easier to handle than the the touring kayaks and offer better speed and tracking than the recreational kayaks. These boats are capable of almost everything the touring boats are, but lack the speed, storage volume and tracking to make major crossings or expeditions.
