Continuing to test.

Well nearly a year since we first started to play with the new Pyranha play boat it finally nearly there, and at long last I got to give it a blast down at Chertsey! Not the “world class” feature you might have hoped to push the boat on, but it is the place we paddle most of the year, and the place I’ve paddled, nearly every play boat to come to the market over the last 7 years. Chertsey’s not a great test of hull speed or looseness, but it is a great test for seeing how stable and controllable the boat is on its end! And good to see how it performs on moves like loop’s, loner orbits, tricky Woo’s. And all that sort of stuff the youth of today like to do in a boat in a sticky hole!! Things are looking very promising, and the small changes planned for the next version should hopefully see the boat nearly done. Then hopefully not to long before production can begin. Pictures are all pretty poor! What can I say, it dark when we leave work now.









The PDQ, Pretty Dam Quick!
