The fibreglass hull incorporates bow and stern sections which are long, fine and low to reduce windage and cut through waves, while the cockpit is deep and secure to keep the water outside. Foam flotation in each end will support the hull in the event of capsizing and flooding, while a moulded non skid pattern on the decks assists with re boarding in deep water. The hull shape is extremely stable and safe for children and novice kayakers. At just 32 kg bare weight it is easily lifted and transported on standard roof racks. The basic kayak comes with two comfortable moulded fibreglass high backed seats which are completely adjustable over the length of the cockpit.
Standard trim is closed cell foam padding.
The kayak is steered by means of foot operated pendant pedals connected to a stern hung folding rudder, which automatically lifts when objects are encountered. The double paddles break in the middle to allow right or left handed feathering and for easy stowage, both in the boat while sailing and in the car boot. The simple lateen rig is stepped and unstepped while afloat. After unfurling on the paddlers shoulders, the mast is stepped through a hole in the deck into a step on the keel, the lateen yard hauled up the mast and the centre of the foot of the sail clipped to the spray rail. The low aspect ratio rig produces little overturning moment, and an arm on the gunwale is all that is needed to keep everything on an even keel.
