Vantage Ultra K1
The highest-volume, widest build in the Vantage range — the top of the size-for-weight ladder and built for the biggest and heaviest paddlers the range serves (its 49 cm width is a large step up from Large's 39.5 cm, reflecting how much more volume the heaviest paddlers need). Designed to "fill the gap between the very stable Vital K1 and the intermediate Jacana K1," aimed at novice paddlers and at intermediate paddlers wanting extra stability or buoyancy on bigger water.

Forum thread: help choosing a South African K1
Discussion of the Knysna Vantage Pro and Plus: described as a great marathon craft that sits well on the wash but needs more skill to turn tight corners. Related earlier model, not the current boat.
