Tahe Greenland – more photos
July 4, 2009By popular request… a few more photos of my Tahe Greenland boat.. (original post here)

Footrest is a simple peg affair, easily adjustable even while afloat…

Very basic seat and backrest… barely any depth to the hull means there is no room for seat adjustment. At first I took the backrest out as it got in the way sliding in and out of the cockpit and did not expect it to be very effective… but I have since refitted it – it does work. Outfitting is minimal – there are no knee braces for example but with such a narrow form and low deck you don’t need ‘em….

The sliding skeg control on the left of the cockpit. The skeg itself is pretty long, I’ve never needed to deploy it more than halfway…

Close up of the logo on the bow and that carbon weave that just looks cool… you can see the neat deck seam in the top right corner

Manufacturers ‘tag’ bonded inside the cockpit. The boat also came with a certificate stating the weight and a qa sign-off. The construction is very neat and tidy with a clean hull/deck seam. There’s not much else to say… there isn’t an awful lot to it. All of my friends who have paddled it straight away understand the appeal of it… :-)

And finally from last night down at Perranuthnoe… a pic of muggins (comments about “is that canoe between your legs” will be, errrm, ignored) after an evening of surf, refreshments in hand and waiting for the BBQ to get going :-)

Beautiful boat. I know that you are enjoying it. But, I am curious, where is your carbon greenland paddle?
hehe, errrm, not finished… not started yet actually :-) been a bit busy what with riding and paddling and stuff. Winter project…
I have a wooden greenland paddle but for surfing a regular paddle is better…
Yeah, I tried to take a Greenland paddle surfing. I was promptly capsized :-)
haha, I am expecting a ‘purist’ to come along any minute and tell me I am committing a dreadful sin by using a euro-style paddle with that boat… :-)
wow – this kayak looks nice…
