Kajakträffar sommaren 2019

Det har varit en hektisk sommar i alla avseenden. Jag har inte hunnit skriva om alla träffar jag varit på, så det får bli en sammanfattning nu.

Frej – Niklas Gunnarsson

Frej – Niklas Gunnarsson

"Hej Björn,

Nu är Freja sjösatt! För två år sedan byggde jag min första kajak – en Frej, och det gav mersmak. Modellen är så fantastisk att paddla att det blev ännu en Frej, i form av Freja, som fått lite mer expeditionsanpassade detaljer; kolfiberskålar med vattentäta luckor från Kajaksport, fler linfästen för extrapaddlar och packpåsar och annat, samt ett ”handskfack” på fördäck. Målet var en kajak som går att ta på ordentliga långturer. Jag är extra nöjd med linfästena som gjordes som små kolfiberskålar och sitsen som blev i mosaik från en sits av en köpekajak. Freja är helt kvistfri och däcket är gjort genom att hyvla och limma alla ribbor. Kölen är extra förstärkt. Sittbrunnen är inredd med yogamatta som fästs med karborrefästen, som har som dubbelfunktion att tas ur och läggas upp på vassa klippor där man drar upp Freja. Även knästöden på undersidan av däcket har yogamatta med kardborre för ett mjukt stöd för knäna. Vikten blev 18.4kg. 

Ni hittar alla detaljer och mer därtill på min byggblogg.

Nu får vi se vad nästa bygge blir. Det lutar antingen åt ännu en expeditionskajak, då i form av en Njord, eller en lekkajak i form av en Black Pearl. Eller något helt annat… Man vet ju aldrig förrän höstmörkret börjar slå till.

Ny Najad i Vestfold – Lars Ole Bolstad

Najad – Lars Ole Bolstad

"Hei!

I helgen ble det prøvetur med den nye Najaden. Det er en traust, stabil og rask kajakk. Jeg har montert et Smarttrack ror på den. Jeg er nok en «rudderman»! Jeg hadde først en prøvetur i Lågen, med litt strøm og urolig vann. Det gikk veldig bra! Najaden er like stabil som Strømstadferja!

Dagen etter fikk den prøve seg i frisk sjø i Tønsbergfjorden. Veldig moro! Den var spesielt morsom i medvind og med surf. Dette er en kajakk som men kan fylle med mye bagasje og dra på riktig langtur. Og med bra marsjfart.

Den er 5,52 med ror, og den veier drøyt 23 kg. Det er kvistfri gran og seder i dekket. Det var gøy å bygge den, og veldig gøy å padle den!

Hilsen Lars Ole Bolstad
Larvik, Norge."

Njord – Jukka Vanne

Njord – Jukka Vanne

"Hi there Björn!

Now finally my new Njord is ready. Here are some pics. Weight with all rigging included (bunjy cord etc.) is 17 kg. Considering I used some mahogany for the looks, I guess the weight is ok - was hoping for 16 kg though.

Haven't yet been on the water too much, but from what I have tried, it does seem very good - seems to have nice speed, stability is ok (95kg paddler) and with a little skeg exposed, it paddles like on tracks. The rope skeg works nicely!

Thanks! - a great design! ����

Yours,
Jukka"
