Point65°N Unisex_Adult Falcon Solo Modular Rigid Kayak (Separable), Red, (1 Place)

Product Information

It’s easy to assemble, desseble, or convert into to tandem due to the patented Snap-Tap system. You also have the option to add ImpulseDrive pedal system, which is easy to attach to the kayak and easy to use. The pedal system is incredibly durable and efficient while maintaining its light weight.

You can paddle the Tequila! GTX recreationally or over long distances thanks to its hull design and its comfy seats. The next thing you need to think about is the kayak's weight capacity. It may not seem like a big deal, but tipping over the weight capacity of your kayak can actually hinder its performance. If you overload your kayak with too much weight, the hull of the kayak will sink into the water, making it incredibly difficult to paddle and maneuver. The sections are form fitted to snap together, and it’s just as easy to unsnap them after use. Additionally this aids in transportation, because instead of carrying around a full length kayak, you and your friends/family can carry sections of the boat to the water. They could potentially weigh as much as 40 pounds per section; that is something that shouldn’t be overlooked. These kayaks are the gold standard when it comes to performance. They’re tough, durable, and easy to set up – especially compared to inflatables and modular kayaks.

Sizing up the Point 65 Mercury GTX

Between the three types of plastic in kayak making, LDPE is undemanding to mold as it needs lower temperatures to mold and shape. LDPE is also considered the cheapest plastic, but its memory, strength, scratch and impact resistance, and UV stability are relatively lower than both HDPE and MDPE. Both sit-on-tops and sit-insides can be found in modular versions. It’s also possible to find modular recreational, touring and even fishing kayaks, complete with built-in rod holders. The big appeal with modular kayaks is that you can pretty much store it anywhere. But you should still consider the dimensions of each part of the kayak, so you’ll have an idea of where to keep it when not in use. The lightweight sections weigh only 24 pounds each, so going from one place to another won’t be a hassle. You’ll get to enjoy the landscape and wildlife plus the thrills of kayaking all at once. The Snap-Tap™ technology makes the kayak easy to assemble once you’ve had some practice doing it a few times. Moreover, you never have to choose between kayaking or camping because of limited space; you can do both on a single weekend.

Primarily a solo kayak, the Point 65 Martini Kayak can be separated and a midsection added to make it a tandem kayak. In solo form, the kayak measures 10’5″, with the aft section measuring 5’9″ and the stern section measuring 4’8″. At full tandem length, the vessel measures 13’8″ with the addition of a midsection that measures 5’4″.

Now, the compartments of the Point 65 Mercury GTX Kayak are watertight, fore and aft. If you wish to take the kayak out onto the water for a day or two, the sufficient storage space will ensure that there are no limitations as to what you may carry. Point 65 created their Sweden Kingfisher Solo out of strong impact and UV-resistant HTP polyethylene which, if taken proper care of, will last you for many years out on the water. Each of the two sections of the Kingfisher floats independently, and you can easily split them apart or reattach them together in less than 10 seconds. The parts connect together with a Snap-Tap modular connection system which keeps both sections securely latched together while you’re paddling. Kayak Features They also include more onboard storage options – which gives them an edge over inflatable and folding kayaks. Just like modular ‘yaks, they feature bulkhead sections that double as watertight storage.

The Point 65 Mercury GTX has an enviable design and sturdy frame that is made of rotomolded polyethylene. This gives it the durability and edge that it needs in comparison to more fragile kayaks.

Modular Kayaks

The seats of the Point 65 Mercury GTX are also perfect for longer paddling hours. They also come with seat covers that are made of highly durable and comfortable honey-comb patterned material. This is also combined with a mesh hike fabric that allows for the right amount of ventilation. The fabric of the Point 65 Mercury GTX Kayak is also laminated with molded over EVA foam. They go hand in hand with the padded foot braces that equally offer the right leg support and allows for a comfortable paddling position. They can also be ideal if you like the idea of paddling solo and as a tandem, as these types of yaks can give you the choice of adding or reducing the amount of seats on the one craft. This allows for the movement of one section at a time. The Mercury GTX boasts of a top-snap technology that enables it to be put together in only a matter of minutes. This is certainly a huge advantage over traditional kayaks that usually take half an hour or more to assemble.

As with any type of kayak – and kayaking equipment, for that matter – there are some things you must consider before getting your first modular kayak. So, that’s what I’d like to focus on right now – the key factors you should look for when choosing the right modular kayak for your needs and paddling style. Number Of SectionsYou should be confident that you’re able to handle the various sections of the modular kayak by yourself, especially if you’re going solo. And even if you have another paddler with you, knowing each section’s total weight allows you to plan ahead.
