Kajaken verkar intressant.
"At just less than 6m long and under 45cm wide it has many of the characteristics of a racing paddle ski giving it speed and maneuverability in waves. Built with a closed cockpit and storage, the boat is super fast achieving speeds close to those of a marathon kayak but able to cope with the rough conditions of open water. The boat Ian used is of carbon/Kevlar construction, weighing in at just 14 kg fully fitted with Hatches, bulkheads and rudder. Although fast and maneuverable, the boat still offers a degree of stability, although fishing in high seas could be a challenge!
Whilst training with K2 and K1 marathon boats at his club in Chester, the boat reached speeds of 16 km per hour and has maintained 12.5 km per hour over a 40 minute time trial. The aim for the crossing was to maintain a speed of at least 11.2 km per hour. In fact Ian achieved an average speed of 12 km per hour. Feedback on progress was monitored using a Garmin global positioning system. This tracks current speed, average speed and distance which offered accurate feedback on progress for the crossing."
Ser dock inga uppgifter om att kajaken säljs kommersiellt. Hittade en recension med lite uppföljande frågor på http://www.paddling.net/message/showThread.html?fid=chat&tid=361394
