I was thinking about this boat, but I’m leaning a bit more towards one with a skeg which should be in immensely helpful with holding course and going straight even when you for a moment stop peddling. how easy would you say is maneuvering this one without a skeg ?

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@Celisar1 paddling straight skegless either in a packraft or an inflatable kayak with the skeg removed is all down to how balanced your paddle strokes are. It's not about the boat, it's about the paddler. To some degree a skeg can mask unbalanced strokes. However one assist in a skegless craft is to add weight to the front. If you watch this video where I had a bike on the front, you can hear me talk throughout the video about the difference it makes kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3TCZYyvhNqXkLc

Karl how much are they in Prague please

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@StevesOutdoorCameraAdventures0 depends on the exchange rate but around £450 to £480.

[@brodyjewison1764]

Thanks for the vid Karl. Did you go over to europe to purchase? Had my eye on this model for a couple of years but never seen it available in the UK.

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@brodyjewison1764 The Machine got his in Europe. A few weeks later one appeared on eBay for sale in the UK. Somewhat surprisingly I was the sole bidder! 👍😁

[@brodyjewison1764]

Sole bidder! 😳​@@MoreThanJustaCleaner might be an excuse for a holiday to Europe 👍

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@brodyjewison1764 yeah I was looking at who I knew over there that could order me one and ship it over here. That was another option.

[@miniveloman3642]

How much are they in Prague?

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

About £470GBP depending on the exchange rate. I've been very fortunate - I managed to get one on eBay - YAY ME :D

Pas de problème avec le siège qui glisse ? 😅

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@axxaoscar8407 Non. Il est livré avec une sangle pour maintenir le siège en place, mais je ne l'ai jamais utilisé - je n'en ai jamais eu besoin car le siège reste en place 👍😁

Fantastic Video. Well Done.

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

Thank you sir 👍😁

Have you tried the Itiwit 100 packraft? I generally use mine as a tender with my boat.

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

No I haven't. Is it ok?

[@romantiachristiana5147]

@@MoreThanJustaCleaner Not a vessel for shooting the rapids but OK for a slow river and still water. Packs away in a small bag and in my companionway step compartment.

@@romantiachristiana5147 We're doing the Great Glen Canoe Trail this week and one of my friends is on an Itiwit x100

[@romantiachristiana5147]

@@MoreThanJustaCleaner You need to distinguish between the Itiwit 100 packraft and the Itiwit 100 and Itiwit x100 kayaks.

[@dutchbeef8920]

They seem to have discontinued this now and replaced it with the 100, 400 steps back? 🤷‍♂️😛

[@MoreThanJustaCleaner]

@@dutchbeef8920 that would be a shame!

[@karstenkrause2698]

No, the 100 is a different packraft, the 500 is still available
