Finn Gadget : the Movie

I had been discussing  my paddleski options -- musing , contemplating. When last I addressed the topic I praised the Finn Gadget .

The Gadget is a little boat -- length 2.40 metres ;beam 0.90 metres -- with  straight lines and a catamaran style hull. I call these  things 'paddleskis' but they get promoted as sit on top kayaks. With the sort of design it has I'm not reminded of Inuit  travel at all.

Small and light -- 18kgm -- this video shows you the way the Gadget comes together for water use. If you like looking at edges and holes or handles and contours, and people dragging boats about ... this is the video for you.
