The galaxy grayling is a relatively short boat at just 8ft 2inches it is very easy to transport and being just 18kg’s easy to carry to the water
The overall look is very stylish with pronounced side chine’s for extra stability and easy to set up seat And a mat contoured finish
The kayak has 2 large weather proof hatches each hatch has a raised rim so water can not run in to the hatch frame and a positive locking T shaped catch
This kayak has a large design open cockpit and superb low profile centre console it is Complete with 4 spaced brass inserts for the addition of a rod holder.
All the edge mouldings are rounded to prevent any laceration injuries.
the kayak has a soft warm feel to it and the roomy cockpit gives an impression of open space.
The mat dimpled floor is for extra grip when wet

The rear tank well is superbly moulded with raised hatch and bungee elastic retaining system it has 2 moulded scupper holes and raised bumps on the bottom to prevent water becoming trapped when a crate or box is fitted
The rear hatch is big it has large raised sides and a nylon rimed removable bag as standard
both front and rear hatches have rubber seals fitted to keep the water out and T shaped locking handle this makes it easyer to lock and un-lock even with cold wet hands

The front and rear of the kayak has large soft grip handles for carrying
The side handles are specially designed with safety in mind they are large open moulded so from the smallest to the biggest hands would have no problem holding on to them without any chance of entrapment specially if you need to re-enter the kayak from the water
The padded back band is fitted with 4 brass dog clip style fastenings to make it easy to fit and remove the seat And together with the shaped moulded in seat base this is very comfortable
This is a superbly moulded and thought out kayak it would be ideal for river running or having fun on the lakes I liked the safety side handles and the contoured cockpit floor for extra grip when its wet the mat finish and rounded edges together with the hatch raised edges make a superb affordable all round package the retail of this kayak is £229 and its sure to become a favourite
