I may have mentioned that I’m a photographer by trade?... I can’t help myself… it must be muscle memory or something… ;)

I 'spose your'e going to tell us the whole shabbang fits into the little black box with the orange clips !!! :lol: :o
Heh, the whole “shabbang” fits in the slightly bigger box behind the little box with the orange clips! :D

Well, maybe not…

…but the kayacht *is* designed to fit into the boot of a small sedan!

Unfortunately, I won’t get to test pilot it until I hit Gippsland lakes in a few days… Should be fun trying to negotiate busy waterway ways when I don’t know wtf I’m doing… be warned “tourists” and Gippsland locals! :twisted:

I would love to know what it is like to scuba off, as it would be super stable for that type of thing.
Yeah it’s very stable, almost impossible to tip, I clamber all over it like a monkey when I’m fishing, its got plenty of room and a 295kg capacity… not that it doesn’t have flaws, Herbie can attest to that! :P

Hey mate,

As always the mods look pretty damn good. You are definitely an inventive sod. I love the use of the paddles for lee boards. I dunno anything about sailing but that makes me want to give it a crack so well done.

I look forward to catching up after Easter for another fishing session and seeing it in action.

cheers
