Nauticalia

The Tahiti kayak is lightweight and compact when stowed away. This has made it the choice of expeditions everywhere from Australia to the Antarctic. And also of less "serious" adventurers exploring their local river pond or canal! Clever design - ridged floor and air-filled crossmembers - means it paddles almost as well as a rigid-hulled boat. The fabric is PVC, with "boston" valves (like you would find on a conventional inflatable) on the two main chambers. It takes about six minutes to inflate and is supplied with one paddle, a skeg (for directional stability) and a footpump as standard. Length 10'6", beam 2'7", weight 25-lb, max capacity 380-lb. Packs down to just 24x16x6".

REVIEWED IN TRAIL MAGAZINE - In the 'used & abused' feature, editor Guy Proctor writes " small enough to pack into a large backpacking sack when flat... Tough, easy to paddle and no toy".
