Zegul Arrives Next Week

Only a week or so to go until our next shipment of boats arrives from Zegul, the innovative premium boat manufacturers who's first load of boats in 2010 were snapped up in a matter of weeks.
We've made a couple of small changes to the designs as well as introducing the iconic Baidarka, and the Zegul 520, a boat we have been comprehensively testing since October.

The Zegul 520

Our major change is to the Zegul 550. We have done away with the skeg as standard & instead made the new SmartTrack 270 Degree Foil rudder standard, recognising that this is such a hard tracking, fast & low windage boat that the skeg does little in the actual handling of the boat.

The rudder allows fitness paddlers to cruise in this very slippery boat with maximum efficiency, while disengaging the rudder completely still leaves you with a hull design that is capable of handling dynamic water effectively, and thus allowing you to develop your paddling skills.

The shipment arrives towards the end of next week, and we'll have stock on the shelf in all five designs forthwith. The Zegul page is up on our site with specs & a small description of each boat design, along with prices. 
All Zegul boats are made with an aerospace vacuum infused carbon aramide (Kevlar) hull, using a process which requires substantial capital outlay, and produces a true & consistent laminate with a tremendous strength to weight ratio.

They are probably the best finished kayaks we have seen, & we're excited to have broadened the range to include their new designs.
