Skeg and Rudder
The hull shape of the Sarek makes the kayak stable and agile, and with a width of 55 cm this sea kayak is a pleasure to paddle even for more experienced paddlers. The very comfortable seat keeps you sitting comfortably throughout your paddle, and the easy-adjust foot pegs make it simple to change your seating position whenever you like. The kayak is equipped with both a skeg and a rudder. The rudder is raised and lowered via the rudder line on the right side of the kayak. The skeg control is also found there.

Excellent Storage Options
The kayak offers generous storage in both hatches and on deck. Two large hatches, one fore and one aft, plus a day hatch located just behind the cockpit. You will also find a compass recess, safety lines and bungee cords for deck storage.

Inside the cockpit you can comfortably brace your thighs against the padded thigh braces for better control of the kayak.

Carry handles are located at the bow and stern.

3-Layer or Single-Layer Plastic?
Unfortunately there are players in the Swedish kayak market who mislead consumers regarding the quality of plastic kayaks. Whether a kayak is made from single-layer or 3-layer plastic does not necessarily affect the quality, performance or durability of the kayak. The plastic can be equally thick regardless of the number of layers, and different constructions suit different models and hull shapes better.

Single-layer plastic is more flexible and yielding, and is therefore more resistant to impacts and knocks. Well suited to shorter plastic kayaks.
3-layer plastic is stiffer and less flexible, but is often a better choice on a kayak longer than 5 m where increased torsional rigidity is needed.

The price of a kayak is never determined by the number of plastic layers, but rather by the quality of the plastic and the kayak's components and details. If you have questions about plastic type, please feel free to ask us. We have 10 years in the industry and have over the years sold many kayaks of both plastic types.
