Title: Sit on Kayaks
Post by: mark206000 on March 20, 2011

Hi !

I've just sold my tandem sit on with a plan of getting something for myself I can do a bit more distance on with maybe a bit of camping etc.

Only used the tandem around Crawfordsburn beach area and lakes, nothing too adventurous !

Would like to do a bit more around the coast and strangford lough where it'd be a bit more choppy.  Seen a few sit ons I like between 11ft and 13ft.  Mainly the Prowler 13 and Tootega 135.  Both 13ft, would prefer maybe an 11ft for ease of lugging about and I'm not sure I'd need the extra space really, but I believe 13ft's would be better behaved around the coast etc ?

Any Sit on toppers offer any advice ?!

I'm cruising about on my bic ouassou at the minute, it's hard work !

Thanks !
Mark  :)

Have you looked at the feelfree nomad.
Really well built and the "wheel in the keel" makes it handy to move around on your own.
