Modular kayaks generally provide all the benefits of hard-shell ‘yaks, coupled with the portability and storage-friendly design of their inflatable counterparts. You still get a spacious, open-storage area with bungee rigging and two hatches with removable gear bins; I’m just not sure how useful they will be, considering the limited capacity. They are also versatile and allow you to go from a single-seater to a tandem by simply snapping in an additional middle part – a unique advantage you will not see in any other type of kayak.The more sections a kayak has, the longer it takes to set it up before each outing. And while the individual parts might be lighter or more compact, the assembled kayak will be heavier. Regardless if you’re using a solo, tandem, or triple kayak, including an estimation of your gear weight and your own weight will allow you to choose the right modular kayak that won’t sacrifice performance.

A spray skirt will help you stay warmer and drier when paddling in colder months, so it’s always important to make sure you have one that fits your kayak. Hull Design In terms of the number of pieces, you’ll find modular kayaks with a minimum of two pieces. Most larger modular kayaks don’t have more than three total pieces, but there are some custom designs out there that feature four or more pieces.

I don't know about Marsport, Northborn have essentially taken over the part of the Vajda range that Hydrasport used to import, i.e. slalom, but that does not necessarily mean there is not room for other importers to be importing from their other ranges. The Kingfisher breaks down into two pieces and each piece weighs no more than 37 pounds. In fact, this kayak’s total weight comes in at 70 pounds and it offers a maximum weight capacity of 287 pounds.

As long as you’re interested in the sport, there is a modular fishing kayak that’s just right for you. Rear connection leaking when using the tandem. Can’t find a reason tried to slightly move the connections but still leaks. Btw you can look through the connection so seams not to fit good enough. When using the kayak as a single there is no problem. This occurs even when my wife and daughter use the tandem (combined weight 115kg)Point 65 Sweden refers to the fascinating Point 65° North, an island called Skellefteå, located near the Northern City of Sweden. It’s also home to the infamous Pit-Rönnskär lighthouse station located in Bothnian Bay. When the brand formed Point 65 Sweden, they got the idea of combining the magical island of the lighthouse station’s engineering and originality with their innovation. The essence of the lighthouse is what inspired the company. When it’s fully assembled, it measures 11 feet in length and weighs 70 pounds – which, believe it or not, is actually pretty reasonable for a fishing kayak.

Although the Gibsons are primarily a slalom family, I know Gary and Jane were training in K1 and K2 for a descent race in SA (I'm not sure if they have done it or still in the pipeline) so do have an interest in the longer boats and unless they would be treading on another importer's (i.e. Marsport) toes I'm sure they could include a sea kayak, surf ski or K1 in a shipment. I was actually chatting with Gary and others yesterday (although the conversation was about paddles and surf boats) and I know they are looking to looking to make sure they aren't too niche.

As for durability, the Martini GTX has a rotomolded hull, which makes it more resilient than some other types of kayaks. Also, the arrowhead shape of the kayak gives it more speed and better control. The fact that a modular kayak comes in two or more sections should make it easier to carry than a traditional yak. This is because the weight and length will be distributed across the pieces so you don’t have to carry the whole weight of the vessel at once – you can carry a section at a time. The Point 65 Mercury GTX Kayak’s hull speed matches that of comparable light touring kayaks. This ensures that the Point 65 Mercury GTX Tandem does not slouch in rough waters. The edge turn feels sporty and responsive, making the kayak one of a kind. The combination of strength and impact resistance makes it possible for the kayak to easily integrate with its features. Because of its features, the Point 65N Mercury Tandem offers a kayaking experience that other similar kayaks cannot match.

But what’s even more interesting, though, is that the mid-section can be removed to turn it into a 9.3-foot solo kayak.
