| The Skua is a high-performance expedition
kayak. It is lively but secure and its excellent secondary stability makes even the novice
feel comfortable in calm conditions. Its length results in good speed and its volume
provides excellent load carrying capacity. The relatively low initial stability gives the
kayak its remarkable responsiveness, while the rock-solid secondary stability and sea
friendliness of the kayak will give you the confidence to the most challenging conditions. The Skua is designed as an expedition kayak. Its length provides good speed
and its volume ensures excellent secondary stability and load carrying capacity. The
reliability of the Skua makes it very appealing as a day tripper and for recreational
paddling. The Skua is not designed around racing, but its good speed and excellent
handling characteristics mean that it is still competitive. It can handle extreme sea
conditions in the hands of an experienced kayaker, although really extreme kayakers may
prefer a shorter boat which can turn faster. The Skua can be supplied with a retractable
skeg instead of a rudder for more extreme applications where the boat needs to be as clean
as possible.
Kaskazi Skua 3 Piece
To make life easier for storage, transport and travelling to great paddling destinations
around the globe, we can make a Kaskazi Skua in a 3 Piece version.
The kayak is split at the two bulkheads to give you three
sections of the kayak that are easier to transport and store. To join the kayak
strengthened interlocking bulkheads are bolted together using wing nuts and rubber sealing
washers.
Once assembled it is a very standard looking Kaskazi Skua
with two faint lines running around the bulkhead areas of the kayak. The 3 piece kayak is
approximately 2 kg heavier than the standard model.
