VICTORIA PO The PO stands
for polyethelene. The Victoria is a very easy kayak to master and is
popular with children and adults who want to paddle around in a recreational
manner. It is relatively short and has a very stable bottom shape,
almost flat under the cockpit. The generous beam and moderate rocker
contribute to stability and quick turns. It tracks well and is quite
fast. It's comfortable for paddlers up to 180 lbs. , and the cockpit
opening is 27" x 16". We install a backrest to assure a
comfortable ride. The rear hatch consists of a "hatch bag"
which is a thick plastic bag similar to a dry bag - which is fastened to the
hatch rim. The hatch lid is a screw-on deckplate. Using a bag allows the
boat to expand and contract in different weather conditions without damaging a
bulkhead (no bulkhead - no damage). Two knotted ropes serve as
toggles and there are no deck elastics installed. This is an economy boat
and there is nothing fancy about it - but it paddles very well. $399.00

The Victoria PO is faster and priced lower than many
short, fat, recreational kayaks. It's less tiring to paddle and will give
years of pleasure to its owner. The length contributes to a good turn of
speed and it combines easy turning with good tracking. Very stable - a
good beginner kayak. Great for children 10 yrs. and up as well as
adults.
