This year's AGM is taking place on Saturday 28th January at 7.30 (just after the pool session). Taking place at The Lawns Inn, BS37 5BG. For more info see the website.
This is a 20foot tandem sea kayak made in plastic.This is probably most realistic 2 man sea kayak available. I have recently tried out the demo boat from Palm. Although a heavy boat - good job there are two of you!, it goes very well in a straight line at a reasonable speed. There is a rudder to turn the boat (takes a bit to get used too) which means the paddlers only have to paddle forward. During the test we paddle with and into the waves as well as a bit of surfing, I found it to be very stable, although Anna did get a little damp going through a couple of waves and I lost my Twix.
This boat will enable anyone who feels a bit nervous about going solo on the sea by combining themselves with a more able paddler.
The boat is coming via Outdoor Active with two paddles and a trolley to make the carrying easier. See the link for photos.
lots of people still struggle on how to tie boats onto cars so i came across this short video clip. I know it relates to sea kayaks but is exactly the same principal for all kayaks.
