| "It looks sleek and fast. . . I was as impressed
by its handling as by its looks." --Paddler Magazine The Alaska is designed as fast, light, responsive boat for beginning and intermediate paddlers and for smaller paddlers at all levels of ability. The sharp bow and stern of the Alaska provide a classic sea kayak look as well as helping the boat cut through the water efficiently. The flat bottom of the midsection narrows to a deep "v" in the ends, providing an outstanding balance of stability, tracking, and turning ability. Like all Janautica designs, the Alaska needs no rudder. As with the Seal, most who paddle this boat are surprised about how well it tracks given its compact size. It's a responsive, fun boat that's easy to throw in the water for a quick paddle. Yet it also has enough storage capacity for weekend trips. Smaller & lighter paddlers who feel lost in big boats will especially like the Alaska -- both for its length and for its low cockpit coaming. This boat has a very low profile and is "worn" at the hips, not at the waist, thereby providing minimum wind resistance, efficient paddling and good control -- even for people who are not six feet tall. The flared sides of the Alaska hull provide both the paddling efficiency of a narrow boat plus the stability of a wider boat. In other words, as you lean the boat to one side, more of the hull comes in contact with the water. This makes for a very safe-feeling boat for beginning and intermediate paddlers. The front and rear bulkheads and rubber hatch covers provide secure dry storage space for gear. Outfitting details include ergonomic seat, adjustable foot rests, front and rear deck lines, front and rear deck elastics, paddle groove, paddle lock, and carrying toggles. Options on the Alaska are priced as follows: 1-piece backrest/seatpad - $40.00; cockpit insert / thigh brace - $25.00; rudder - $150.00. The Alaska is available in a variety of colors -- either solid or with a colored deck and white hull. |
