Knysna G40 Ocean Racing Ski, and long distance ri
Knysna G40 sit on top Ocean Racing Ski, and long-distance river racer. The boat is in as new condition and has spent most of its time in storage. The boat is built in epoxy vacuum bagged glass sandwich, and is extremely stiff and light at 14Kg. She comes with a carbon fibre powerful surf rudder for ocean swell but can be used on the river if required. The footplate adjusts on runners to allow for different leg lengths, and the boat is steered using two large footplates in the cockpit. The cockpit is automatically fully self-draining through two Venturi scuppers. Boat length is 6.4m, and width 43cm, so the boat is relatively unstable to provide speed, and best suited to experienced paddlers. Her flatwater long-distance speed is similar to that of a K1 sprint boat so it is extremely quick, although it really comes alive paddling downwind riding ocean swell. This represents an excellent opportunity for an experienced paddler to buy a high-performance ocean racing ski for under a £. This sport is huge in Australia and South Africa, beginning to gather momentum here in the UK, and ideally suited to our inland and coastal waters. More pictures are available on request.
