Zedtech Dominator
6.58m x 43cm long-distance ocean racer, the boat that launched the brand in 2009 and was pitched at the time as a leaner answer to the Epic V10 of that era. Long waterline, narrow beam, no concession to a paddler still learning to sit on a ski.

On-water profile
Both scores are rated at the hull's own design weight. How these are derived.
Suits: Ocean racing and downwind, in the hands of a paddler already comfortable on a 43cm ski.
Paddler weight
This hull is built around a paddler of about 90 kg. It stays workable from 79 kg to 96 kg, and sits at its best between 84 kg and 92 kg.
Derived from published hull dimensions and calibrated against manufacturer paddler limits, not taken from a marketing range. The method, in full.
Generations
Zedtech built handmade composite kayaks and surfskis in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. The Dominator arrived in March 2009 as the brand's long-distance ocean ski and the Griffin followed that December; a Lightning and an XL version of the Dominator widened the range to four before the brand went quiet.

Where to buy
The Dominator is out of production. It turns up on the second-hand market; there is no new-boat channel for it.
Maker closed Zedtech is no longer trading. zedtech.pt no longer resolves and no dealer lists the range. The boats survive in community charts and classifieds.
Nobody sells Zedtech new. The second-hand market is the only channel.
Zedtech has not traded for years, so there is no current price. Second-hand boats turn up in Portugal, Spain and Norway.
