The iTrek 11 seems to be trickling out to some customers now, and there is a growing number of youtube videos of it. Anybody want to list some favorite videos or one of their own here? The ones I have seen so far were not too informative in my interest area. P.S. Here is an idea for the next design cycle of these "board" type kayaks. To reduce the bow spearing into waves which then slam into your cargo, why not make the bow thicker and more buoyant? The first couple feet could be 50% thicker, which might make the ride dryer as well. In ships a similar idea is called Xbow. |

yaw_string, Very cool, looks like fun. Question, what keeps the kayak from slipping while tacking or on a beam reach? Is there a type of skeg or daggerboard device? Would love to see how the mast is mounted. Thanks. |
