With the XTs, Pakboats introduces a new range of folding touring kayaks. The boats are very fast, and their overall paddling performance is exceptional. A new stiff frame structure enables the construction of longer, more efficient hulls with consistent rocker, and a multi-chine cross section further enhances performance. The moderate depth of the hulls minimizes wind effects and gets the gunwales out of the way of your hands for comfortable paddling.
The Pakboats XT series are high-performance touring folding kayaks. Longer and narrower than their Puffin cousins, they have stiffer frames, contributing to high speed and glide and ease of paddling, while retaining the reassuring stability of the Puffins. Fully-removable decks provide ease of assembly and loading, and allow the XT-16 to be converted for tandem or solo use. The coaming is larger to facilitate entry and exit, and its shape effectively retains spray skirts. The seating and bracing system provides improved comfort, stability, and control.
This is the perfect boat for solo long-distance touring. Load it up, install the solo deck, and you are ready to go. Its 16 ft of length and 26 inches of beam give you ample room for a load. If you are day-tripping with a companion, simply change to the double deck and install the second seat for tandem application. It really is that easy. All cockpits have stiff aluminum rims to support spray skirts.
