Following three months of increasingly learning to play and control the Legend, it has been a very great experience after 5 years of using other types of kayaks.
Directional control can be a bit difficult in the beginning coming from a rudder fitted kayak.
The only problem was the skeg clotting with small stones in locations. This lead to the need for complete removal of the skeg. When doing so it turned out that the screw holding a small tube, that allows a knot to take the skeg up and down is unfortunately made of iron - which rusts within a few months here in Denmark - had to replace with a non-standard stainless steel part. The seawater is a bit salty (1-2%).
Seaward has been noted and will hopefully replace with stainless steel part in future production. |
