The Horizon was designed shortly after the
Solander in response to a request for slightly more stablity with most
of the Solander's easy, responsive paddling characteristics. A bit more
volume was added to the chines, creating a medium- sized kayak that
is moderately chined for initial stability. It tracks well and is easy
to turn when leaned on its slight chine. The sectional model (Horizon-S)
comes apart in three sections. There are thirteen bolts-six bow and
seven stern--in specially designed recesses that hold the sections together
for part registration. The nut sides of the bolts are sealed to the
recesses while the bolts are handle tightenable with O ring seals and
wrench loosening capacity, should you ever over tighten them. Assembly
time is about fifteen mintues. The kayak is as strong or stronger than
our one piece kayaks as the bulkheads are fabricated at the same time
as the hull and deck. This is the best engineered sectional kayak we
know of. |
