NDK Triton II
The Triton has been designed for the intermediate to
advanced paddler. The kayak is fast and manoeuvrable with
key features taken from the Explorer to produce a double sea
kayak that is ideal for weekend and week long expeditions.
The Triton has
four fibreglass bulkheads, 2 hatches (front and rear) and
extra 7.5" day hatch situated behind the stern paddler. The
kayak has recessed deck fittings, deck lines, deck elastics
and two compass recesses. Standard keyhole cockpits, provide
good control and enable easy entry and exit. A note patch
for navigation information etc, is situated on the front
deck in front of the cockpit.
The kayak can be Eskimo
rolled very easily. Rescuing the double is relatively easy
as all water in the cockpits will empty quickly when the bow
of the kayak is lifted. The Triton is a high performance
sporty sea kayak for paddlers who want a fast, seaworthy
double kayak.
