huh, where did you cut from? but as far as the newer slalom designs go, the makao had pretty pronounced rails. can you take a pic of them together? I'm more just curious to see. I still think that any moving/whitewater, and the result would have been reversed. ...

... measurements.) Its hull is also very rough from many, many patches. I think the speed difference comes more from the hull shape: Real rails. Who's Makao btw? Galasport. Or do you mean "Whose Makao"?

... ww test, I think you'd see the differences... Even something like the feeder with a technical course would give you enough of a discrepancy. Who's Makao btw?

... take a while with some boats to learn how to get the most out of them. Possibly. What was interesting is that I had nose-bobbing problems in the Makao, none with my old boat, in spite of the Makao's wider bow. My old boat is significantly narrower up to the cockpit. That's how I modified the ...

IIRC the Makao is a full width boat... Never liked that style personally, it seems unneccesary to have such a wide boat... If you look at the boat Martikan has designed for 2012, it's so narrow in the bow they have to use a slalom ...

A Little Speed Testing

So, a couple of weeks ago I was offered a slightly-used Galasport Makao at a price that was quite reasonable. Since my current C1 (13 years old, and more than a bit used) was due for replacement, I jumped on the Makao deal. But that was just the beginning ...

... look for a Loco you will find a series of pics that have a SuperBatMax next to Loco. In addition you can see it next to Double Dutch Ultimo and a Makao. The Ultimo was cut down and really did not make it through the process very well. The Loco and Makao where 2006 designs and when next to the ...

WTB- Slalom C1

... some of the newer slalom designs. Never paddled one, though. Going from a stern-turning boat like the Fanatic, would a Vajda Lizard or a Galasport Makao be a logical move-up? I'm an old geezer and am 5'8" and 150lbs. Thanks to all- this is such a great site. Ken

... great job of doing what tony wanted to do. the 64 is a much better version of the yin, basically pumped up bow, more width at the knees, a better makao, which was better than the yin. cheers

thanks for your reply...

... I believe) I guess I was looking to build a small boater's Finkenmiester - a creek boat with slalom-like stern. I already have a race boat -- a Makao, but am looking for more of a creeker than a river runner. Chances are, I'll wait and get a real creek boat and convert it.Thanks.

It is smaller and takes more balance and skill to paddle as Bahndo points out. The Makao is a fast boat and has ...

Re: sandiline skirt question

Anyone know how Sandiline's skirt sizing works? I have a newer model slalom boat (makao) with a relatively large cockpit compared to the older slalom designs. I tried to fit a Sandiline skirt on it (size 75), that was too small. I can't find any details on their ...
