旅の装備を全て積んでみて試乗へ。
できるだけ、カヤックを引きずらずにすむように
自分で持てる重さに切り詰めました。

The Solander (formerly Solander Plus),
a smaller version of the Seafarer,
is a perennial favourite as it is nimble, sporty, and fun,
and will also accommodate gear for longer trips.
It has been in production since 1981 and has been revised and updated.
３週間分の荷物を積んでも動きのよさに納得。
風に乗って追い波を乗りつなぎながらサーフィンをするとき、
サーフで波をひらりとかわすときなど、さらに実感できる。
The latest update incorporates
the flush hatches and recessed plastic deck fittings.
The rescue straps have moved to just behind the cockpit to make them easier to use.
The rudder deployment lines have been routed inside the deck
to reduce clutter on the rear deck.
We have sold more of this model than any other and it's still Steve's favourite,
due to its unique combination of size, agility, weight, and character.
One of the first soft chined touring kayaks available,
it is still the best kayak of its size--a classic in its own time.
Experienced paddlers find that the Solander feels like an extension of their own body (the ultimate compliment!)
