I own one of these which I got second hand, I am so glad I watched this video because the straps were tangled and I had no idea the top skirt bits unhooked 😂😂.
Honestly, I don't know yet. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but next week, on vacation, I'll have the time and desire to put the boat to the test. I'll let you know later. Thanks for your comment.
@@chatvoyager I bought this by accident, strange I know but im willing to give it a try, I’ve just read a few people saying the seats are hard to keep still.
Hi, just an update from my question. The seats staid upright as long as we were in a correct sitting position if that makes sense so all in all I’m happy with the purchase. Just home from a long weekend away using it. Great fun.
@A M I agree with you. The fact that the seats are not fixed is also a good feature because in our case we are 3 and we can choose were our daughter seats. We just move the seats forward or backward. Today we tried a circular downwind sail. It took some time to learn how to use it but on the way back I only had to maintain the curse.
Hi just bought this exact one, any idea what the Round hole is at the front underneath? Looks like it’s used for inflating but is way too big for that. Is it to do with drainage? Thank for this video btw 😀
Anyone had issues with managing to keep kayaking in a straight line? We kept zig zagging most of the time and some friends suggested a skeg - does anyone have any experience of this please?
I felt the same the first time, but after a while I realized that I needed to improve my paddling skills. The currents and the wind also difficult a lot this task exactly because it does not have a keel or a rudder. Practice bring perfection and in this case also fun and joy.
I was out in mine yesterday and got fed up with the thing spinning round all the time. It's very unwieldy to handle and is a real pain to manoeuvre away from boats or other others. I'll be fitting a skeg to mine one way or another. There's a reason why more expensive kayaks have them (such as the Sevylor Madison).
@@lewis72 Hi. I agree with the need to have either a skeg or a keel. I might go for the rudder option because I've just bought a sail and I'm planning to buy a bigger one. In my case the rudder makes sense. I've posted a video with the first trial of this sail.
@@chatvoyager I bought a skeg for mine and it made little to no difference. The thing still turns round 120 degrees or so when you stop paddling. It's horrible to use. I'll be selling it soon and getting something much better. Buy cheap - buy twice.
