advice on inflatable
Hi, our family are already seasoned boaters, but not paddlers. I'm after
a 2 man inflatable kayak for me to take out my kids in one at a time when we are out and about without our boat. It needs to be inflatable coz it will have to go in the back of the car and because the garage is already taken up by our ski boat. So, I've see: http://www.nauticalia.com/uk-info/de...yak/90320.html and: http://www.roho.co.uk/acatalog/Robin...ayaks_210.html the K2 version There is quite a difference in price. The cheaper Challenger looks like you get more for your money as you get a tracking fin. I suspect the Seyvlor may be better quality to justify the higher price but I don't know. Anyway, this is only for casual use. But it is for use on rivers rather than lakes. So something that handles the rougher stuff would be better. Any advice??? tnx, Nick |

Absolutely no knowledge, but people have always spoken well of Syvlor. Might
be worth having a look at the forum on www.songofthepaddle.couk Rich "NikTheGeek" wrote in message k... Hi, our family are already seasoned boaters, but not paddlers.

advice on inflatable
Hi
I just found this site tonight . It's not an inflatable but it looks as if it packs away smaller. Probably the wrong price range but worth a look. http://www.rethinkkayak.com/ I have very cheap inflatable on my cloned E-Bay site. www.paddlingandrowing.com I even make remarks not to buy them in my articles!

I would never take children out in "rougher stuff" in one of those. Steve |
