Packraft Sailing in Cornwall
First go with a flip-out Anfibio PackSail (like the former WindPaddle) in a 12-foot MRS Barracuda Pro. Strong, 25kn offshore northerlies; safety RIB at hand. Paddling back was not possible. The MRS hit about 5kn (nearly 10kph). Filmed by some packpals.

Zelgear Igla 410 kayak - 90 second Intro
Переглядів 2,2 тис.2 роки тому
First outing in my Ukrainian Igla 410 IK. Drop stitch floor makes it stiff; twin tube sides keep it slim. Result: a hybrid IK with great glide at only 16 kilos on the water.

Anfibio Sigma TXL packraft • 2 minute review
Переглядів 7 тис.2 роки тому
Anfibio's Sigma TXL packtraft. A 2.8-metre boat that can sustain 6kph on calm seas but weighs 3.5kg. So for us it's been a whole new way of enjoying daytrip sea paddles. We can access or get off at pretty much any remote shore and walk the rest. Plus the huge in-hull storage pockets will take days of stuff for two, and with a backwind you can sail at paddling speeds or more: ua-cam.com/video/FJ...
Packraft Sailing • Anfibio Sigma TXL
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
Getting to grips with my 2-8-metre Anfibio Sigma TXL [ua-cam.com/video/ZMeG0XuCzrU/v-deo.html] in northwest Scotland to make it a useful tourer when the wind allows. The bigger volume makes the TXL more buoyant than a regular, rear-weighted solo packraft, putting the stock skeg half out of the water. For normal solo paddling it doesn't matter; you can even manage without a skeg on a shallow riv...
Anfibio Packraft AirSail on Loch Hourn, Knoydart
Переглядів 3,9 тис.3 роки тому
I tried to paddle out of Loch Hourn from Barisdale, but the wind got too strong, so I sailed back and walked out. The inflatable 1.3-m sail worked very well on my Anfibio Rebel 2K. Full review: inflatablekayaksandpackrafts.com, wp.me/p14LRZ-4Xx Check out my 2022 Packrafting Guide! amzn.to/3Ovzv20
Inflatable Kayak Sailing in the Summer Isles
Переглядів 1,3 тис.3 роки тому
Midsummer's Day in the Summer Isles but it's chilly and windy. A good day to go out in the drysuit and try a bit more WindPaddling. Wind was 10-15mph and interestingly, it only took 15 more minutes to paddle the 4 miles back. But by then I was knackered. Check out my Inflatable Kayaking Guide! amzn.to/3oBDDkN
