HIGGANUM, Conn. – Pakayak, the world’s first hard-shell touring kayak, which can fit in the trunk of a car and be checked as luggage on a commercial airplane, announced a second model Saturday with the launch of a new Kickstarter campaign.
The new model, which is called the Bluefin 142, is composed of six interconnecting sections, is expected to weigh no more than 55 pounds, and will be able to be assembled in less than three minutes like the original Pakayak Bluefin 14. When assembled, the Bluefin 142 is two inches longer than the original, the length of the cockpit is now 48.5 inches from 45 inches for 3.5 inches of more legroom, but packs down to the same size as the original Bluefin 14 to fit inside of a special 3.5-foot-long wheeled backpack.
