At last the Seakarts are here and I’ve got to correct the post that I made a couple of days ago. These sailing craft are actually Seakarts by Windkart and they are an incredible piece of equipment.
In lots of ways the Seakart is a cross between a wind surfer and a catamaran and there’s a little bit of sports car in there as well. If that sounds like a strange combination then let me explain.
A Seakart can carry two people but it can be easily sailed by just one. The main control is something similar to a car’s steering wheel and it’s positioned in front of the people in the ‘cockpit’.
The cockpit is actually like a hammock and whoever is sailing in the Seakart sits/reclines in the hammock and has everything he needs to control the Seakart within easy reach.
The Seakart can be sailed by just about anyone and even if your a complete novice at sailing you can be out on the water having a great time in just a few minutes. It’s far easier to sail a Seakart than it is to sail any other type of catamaran.
We were fortunate to have the guys who build the Seakarts come out from France to help us set up the four we’ve bought to add to Aquavue’s beach hire equipment. All the crew here at Aquavue have been out in them and we love them, they’re a lot of fun and so easy to sail.
You can read more about them and see a few extra photos on the Seakart hire page on Aquavue’s main site.
