Entry for SEA KAYAKING – PEDAYAK by L’AQUAPHILE

PEDAYAK is an elaborate version of a “sit-on-top” kayak.

While on a restricted space, it has the same systems than a real boat:

A high-performance propeller propulsion drive, easy and powerful.

A smooth and precise steering system with rudder and helm, monitored by a simple stick. Their combination (the rudder is located just behind the propeller) allows manoeuvrability and a surprising agility on this type of boat. Rigged with a sail, it becomes a real small boat, powered by both sail and “motor”, with amazing performances. It can be combined in 16 different versions: ELECTRIC (electric propulsion), SAIL, TRIO, DUO, PRAO.

KEY ADVANTAGES:

• Speedy: 50% faster than an equivalent regular kayak.
• « Hands free »: Allows activities such as strolling, sailing, fishing, photo, video, phoning, binoculars, etc.
• Can beach (the propeller and rudder are protected by 2 keels), go into very shallow waters (35 cm draught), immediately go backwards by retropedalling, manoeuvring, agile, turns on the spot.
• Can possibly accommodate an additional light passenger, less than 60 kg.
• Stable and unsinkable. Very good behaviour at sea. Silent.
• Comfortable with its ergonomic backrest.
• Storage compartments for GPS, bottle and cans, pockets, front and rear storage bins.
• Accessible to disabled people.
• Rigged with a sail, it sails under all wind conditions, including upwind, thanks to its keels.
• In PEDAYAK TRIO, DUO or PRAO versions, it can be mounted in trimaran or catamaran, with an intermediate removable structure, allowing sunbathing, taking children, or bringing diving or bivouac equipment, etc.
• Modularity: All versions: TRIO, DUO, PRAO, ELECTRIC, SAIL can be combined with each other.
• More than 10 accessories available for fishing, sailing, exploring, raid, tourism.
