G'day, you're spot on with the Cobra Tourer reviews. Same as yourself-first trip to Melbourne Kayaks (based solely on nearest dealer) and Andrew listens. Went through Fish'n'dive, Prowlers, Pro-Fish and I almost settled on the Marauder. Having been rower, bit of long boarding etc., wanted something ...

G'day Joshua. I was checking the site and noticed your review. I have a Cobra Tourer SoT and much the same as with your process, put it through it's paces bit by bit. When putting on the anchor trolley, I had the feeling (and later confirmed), that the safest length is from stern to mid point-going ...

Have surfed (mini-mals), rowed and spearfished; am finding all useful but a Yak is a different critter. Taken the Tourer out off Mt. Martha/Mornington 1/2 dozen t...

Any info on sails for Cobra Fish'ndive appreciated. Is it strucurally and practically realistic? What holes have to be drilled?
