Nice! I need a suite like yours so I can go out in the winter too. What kind of suite is that and how thick is it? Very good example of custom rig and outriggers on a kayak. I assume the outriggers pivot so that you can pull the akas in?
@@markpalmquist The suite is nothing special but you can find it here www.sandiline.com/en/shop/kayak/kayak-dry-suits/rescue-dry-suit#. The most important for staying warm is to put plenty of wool layers under the suite.
@@markpalmquist The outriggers and mast pivote around a central axis. This makes it posible to sail in 36 knots of wind (I have tried) as exess wind power is spilled when the mast leans and the pontoons go down under water without the kayak doing the same. The arrangement also helps with keeping the kayak up against the wind as the pontoons are formed as wings.
@@markpalmquist Yes it stays level and it feels safe in strong winds and rather large waves. The joining between the two hull parts is also very robust and with two persons in the kayak it doesn't flex at all.

@@sailoutofagarage6212 that is pretty cool, the outrigger and sail heel but your kayak stays upright.

Superfin K2, är den ett eget bygge eller finns de att köpa?

must be viking blood..
@@jamesjoyce5611 Thank you but it's not so much blood, more about thinking. You have to know how to dress, travel and prepare for winter paddling.
