Improvements

BORÉALDESIGN keeps innovating!

In the past two years, we have been testing with success a Spectra® rope to control the rudder. This rope, which is very resistant to breakage, has many advantages over stainless steel cables; it is light and quiet. Corrosion hazards decrease, as well as fees associated with, and the time spent on, kayak maintenance.

 

Our new Thigh Brace system for polyethylene kayaks

We have developed and introduced in 2007 a new thigh brace system for our polyethylene kayaks, that offers remarkable comfort and adjustment. This new system is a two-stage design, which allows the paddler to achieve a degree of fit and comfort not previously available on BORÉALDESIGN kayaks. Stage 1 consists of the thigh brace itself. It has the advantage to be rigid and to provide excellent support to the thigh. Stage 2 is formed by a small dome. It is adjustable in height according to the paddler size; it pivots on itself and also slides in Stage 1.

Reflective lifeline

Many of our kayaks have a lifeline installed on their perimeter. This year, we will use a rope with a reflective strand that will improve craft visibility.

 

“Clear Coat” hulls: more and more popular

Did you know that a kayak with a clear coat hull weighs up to 2 lb (1 kg) less? Available only with the Kevlar® or Kevlar®/carbon versions, this option consists of a clear gel coat layer that reduces overall weight. In addition, you can admire
the beautiful Kevlar® and carbon fibre fabrics.
 

Our Revolutionary Skeg System

The mechanism of our skeg system is simple, efficient and easy to use. A control knob adjusts the depth of the anodized aluminium blade. It features six adjustments (0 to 5) corresponding to angles of 0 to 50 degrees. The skeg box is specifically designed to reduce the level of intrusion into the rear compartment and therefore, minimizing any loss of storage capacity.  To know more...
 
 

Great Looking and Efficient

Designed by BORÉALDESIGN, a waterproof brass fitting for where the Spectra® line or the stainless steel rudder cable exits the kayak. Intended to eliminate leaks, this accessory enhances the appearance of our kayaks for an impeccable quality finish.

 

Incredibly lightweight and rigid carbon/Kevlar® kayak

This laminate features a new construction method for added rigidity. The number of carbon fibres has been increased in relation to the Kevlar® fibres. You obtain a stronger and more rigid structure with the same lightweight.
