Unlike sailing conversions for kayaks the TRIAK was designed from the ground up to be a performance sailing machine that still paddles as well as a traditional sea kayak. The TRIAK paddles at a steady 4-5 knot pace and reaches 6 knots in a sprint.
The position and design of the wing and floats accommodates a full, unobstructed paddle stroke so you can paddle the TRIAK like any other kayak.
The sleek design of the main hull and floats make for efficient, low friction movement through the water for smooth, quick paddling.
With the mainsail furled the position of the mast is clear for a full stroke. Switching between sailing and paddling takes seconds using one line while sitting in the cockpit.
A foiled rudder and foot pedal make for better steering and more agile maneuvering. Seasoned, highly certified paddlers have been amazed with the TRIAK's paddling agility.
