Unexpected Feathercraft Aironaut
Received a surprise package from Feathercraft today and it is the prototype Aironaut! From what we know, the Aironaut is an ultralight sea kayak (9kg) and easy to deploy (6 minutes inflation). But...here are some unexpected surprises about the Aironaut:
# It comes with a sprayskirt, sea sock, cockpit rim inserts, tracking fin, repair kit, & pump.
# It takes less than 5 minutes to inflate as the chambers are quite small.
# All 3 chambers have a pressure release valve, eliminating the No.1 concern of using inflatable in our hot weather.
# It comes with an strange orange bag at its stern...guess what?
# The whole package comes in a nicely designed backpack dry bag.
# It is ultralight !
The whole package looks very attractive, but how would it performs as a sea kayak? Will find out later this week during the sea trial !
