Plans kayak - Thule/2, €105
images | information | lines | particulars | history | comments
Thule/2, double, is a roomy, fast and able touring and expedition kayak with good direction stability, designed to give a good speed for little work even in bad conditions and with full payload.
A medium volume kayak, with ample room for knees, feet and gear, and designed primarily for larger persons, it has nevertheless become a favorite also among smaller paddlers.
High stability (initial and secondary) means that inexperienced paddlers quickly learn to handle the kayak in waves and that skilled paddlers can keep going comfortably when the weather refuses to cooperate.
