Hello everyone!
I'd like to introduce packrafts of a completely new type. We decided to enlighten classic inflatable kayaks and adapt them to the rivers with mostly calm water and lakes. Here are some photos of river model. Lake version will be longer.
Pack-kayak Kolchim: length 2,9 m, width – 0,86 m, tank diameter – 0,27 m. Weight 3,2 kg. Tanks – vinyplan 4426 (320g/sq.m) bottom – vinyplan 6331 (650 g/sq.m). The prow and the stern will be made a bit different way (aesthecics). Spraydecks are also to be (re)designed.
The bow is lowered to rise wind resistance (lakes) and course stability
Look at the cockpit width – we kept it constant for most of the length
<=not me, my boss:)
We've also got alpacka-style boats but this one will be the flagship.
Will be glad to answer your questions.
Upd: we're located in Saint-Petersburgh, Russia
