SB Covert in action!

Post by Kelvin »

Hi All,
Super stoked to be working on a new boat design with the folks at Silverbirch Canoes here in the UK.. Check out a few little videos of the boat here https://vimeo.com/user8447376
or take a look at their Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/silverbirchcanoes?ref=hl
Any comments so far would be much appreciated.
Thanks for looking,
Kelvin.

Hull looks sweet, on point on the design. Turn the handles to be perpendicular to the hull, the in-line hard handles are always the worst. When lowering a boat down a hill or cliff this in-line handles always pinch the hades out of your hand and a carabiner doesn't nest in them as nicely. Pyranhas Burn used to have the parallel handles until this year where they turned them for a more positive grip and replaced the webbing style handles with hard points.

It certainly looks like it paddles well. Cool to see more new designs.
The line will become apparent
