Layup weights
On-water profile
Modelled from published beam, length and deck height. Low confidence. Speed is our rating. Both are given at the hull's own design weight. How we rate.
Stability here means how steady the ski feels sitting still on flat water. Where two craft have overlapping ranges, we can't say which is more stable. Downwind handling is a separate thing, covered in the evidence note below.
Evidence note
Suits: Junior and small-adult learning on flat water and sheltered coast, club programmes and family use.
Paddler weight
Nordic Kayaks rates this hull for paddlers from 40 kg to 70 kg.
The maker’s published range. How this is worked out.
Generations
Smallest of Nordic's fibreglass Clubline skis, called 'Junior' internally; built for children and small adults in families and clubs.
