Outfitting and Rigging Your W Fishing Kayak
| Since we've created a blog for this website, much of
the information related to
outfitting and rigging is presented there. The blog has a search
function, which makes it easy to find information. By 'Outfitting' we mean improvements related to all the boat's functions, while 'Rigging' refers more specifically to fishing. Naturally, there's considerable overlapping between the two. Our customers have taken the lead in terms of problem solving and innovation in both outfitting and rigging. They keep experimenting and finding creative ways customize their W kayaks by adding motors, oars, deck rigging, outriggers, electronic, wheels, and all kinds of accessories. By now it's possible to say that these efforts are evolving into a new micronautical science. This website offers customer reviews that in many cases include detailed explanation on various outfitting and rigging projects. Some clients send us movies. Interestingly, no one has ever felt the need to add a rudder to our boat, which proves it both tracks and maneuvers perfectly. |
