Tandem tourers
"Bill Siler" wrote in message om... (Mtkkburk) wrote in message ... I have recently become interested in kayak touring and would like to get some opinions about tandem touring boats. I live in central Pennsylvania and would be using it mostly on lakes and rivers with an occasional trip to the Outer Banks or similar destinations. I am thinking poly because I know that I will be dealing with rocks and possibly low water on rivers. I realize that I will be giving up some speed and some weight. My wife and I have done short tours in Arcadia and Ocracoke, and did a one week tour in the Queen Charlottes. In addition, have a fair amount of experience paddling tandem canoes. I have looked (online) at such boats as the Necky Amaruk, the Prijon Excursion, the Perception Carolina II, and the Dagger Trinidad. Any thoughts on any of these boats? Other recommendations? I would like to stay under 17' 6" and 100 lbs. Not looking for extended touring. Daytripping and 2-3 night max overnight (we pack light). Thanks Mike Have you considered a Folbot double? Could be just the thing. They are plenty sturdy. I have had both a Amaruk and a Folbot. Both great boats, but the Folbot GII is proving to be much more versatile. Check the Folbot user forum for used boats http://www.folbot.com/forum.html and great advice. Dave www.webkatz.net |
