The Puffin Saranac folding kayak shares the same convenience features as the Saco, but at 15 feet, it is 3 feet longer. The extra length makes it possible to add a second seat and accommodate two paddlers for tandem application. The Saranac can also be converted to a roomy solo kayak, and deck options are available for both tandem and solo paddling. For activities like fishing, it is often more convenient to have an open kayak, so you simply leave the deck(s) behind. If you need protection from wind and spray, install a deck. And if you need even more protection, the spray skirt give you complete shelter from the elements.
- Open-decked boat allows easy loading and unloading—perfect for fishing, island-hopping or warm-weather excursions (deck sold separately)
- Rugged, abrasion-resistant PVC-coated synthetic fabric skin fits tightly over frame, creating clean lines and smooth paddling
- Anodized aluminum frame is strong, lightweight and corrosion resistant; longer sections of frame are shockcorded like tent poles to ease assembly
- 3 longitudinal rods—2 gunwales and a hinged keel—attach to cross members inside the skin to create a taut, easy-to-assemble craft that anyone can put together
- Inflatable tubes with 4 separate compartments between frame and skin increase tautness, ensure flotation and eliminate pressure points
- Inflatable, urethane-coated seats stand up to heavy use and adjust to provide a perfect fit
- Removable deck effectively seals out water; simply hook over the ends of the hull and attach with a rip-and-stick seal (deck sold separately)
- Kayak converts to a single-seat configuration by moving the thwart; single-seat deck sold separately
The Saranac is very versatile. It will take two people for a day of casual exploring. With the optional solo deck, the Saranac can easily hold several weeks' worth of camping gear for one person. And it fits into a single compact bag for easy travel and storage.
