Aleut
Sea II
|
This VCP tandem kayak, designed by Howard Jeffs, is one of
the most performance oriented double kayaks on the market.
The bow has significant flare which gives the boat pronounced
lift in chop allowing the front paddler to remain dry. The
center section consists of a round bilge which gives a secure
feel in rough seas. The paddlers sit far enough apart to allow
paddling out of synchronization.
The Aleut Sea 2 comes equipped with four fiberglass bulkheads,
2 oval VCP hatches, a large rectangular central hatch ( to
carry either very bulky items or to provide space for small
children or a dog. ) recessed fittings, compass fitting, chart
elastics, deck lines and 2 deck mounted bilge pumps. The pumps
can be mounted forward of the cockpits (C 50) or on bulkheads
(foot pumps). The kayak is equipped with a modified VCP rudder.
Its longer blade fits into a slot along the rear deck to locate
it during landing in rough seas or surf. The rudder operating
cables are sealed and feed through the inside for total protection.
The Aleut Sea 2 is available with front or rear steering mechanism,
using VCP butterfly steering system which allows simultaneous
steering and bracing. The other footbrace available is Yakima.
Available with 28"x17" keyhole cockpits.
Dimensions: 22' x 26"
