K2 Gemini
GEMINI is a complete model line of double kayaks characterized by good stability and calm behavior. This is due not only to the smaller longitudinal bottom deflection, especially in the middle part of the boat, but also to the slightly flatter bottom profile in the keel.
The smallest model of the Gemini series is the 140 kg boat, also suitable for children 10-12 years old. The model range continues through the most versatile 160 (165 kg) version, through the 180(190kg) to the largest Gemini 200 (210 kg).
Stability 1,5 (1-top race, 5-fitness kayaks)
According to the testing on the water, the size of the boat was exactly as intended: with a crew of 145 kg, it was submerged, but the water did not go overboard anywhere and such a crew could still use the boat well in calmer water. Repeated winter testing of the initial mock-up and additional modifications were certainly beneficial. The French club St Laurent Blangy (also a training centre and one of the largest clubs with over 300 active competitors), which has had several of these boats in use was very happy with them according to headcoach . The boats are used by crews ranging from 100 to 150 kg, appreciated as stable, easy to handle, comfortable even in waves, current, etc., yet fast enough as full scale racing kayaks. The club representatives were also very satisfied with the level of workmanship, solidity and rigidity of the hull of our Racing version.
The footrest has a movement range of 15 cm in 10 x 1,5 steps (so 11 positions). The seat has a movement range of 9 cm in 6 x 1,5 cm steps (so 7 positions) except for the Gemini 140 and boats with pin seats. The mentioned distance from the seat to the bar is for the seat in the central position. So the real minimal distance seat- bar can be still 4,5 cm less then the lower mentioned number, and real maximal distance can be still 4,5 cm more then the higher mentioned number.
We can offer an individial solution for Master athlets 95 kg, Cruiser and Easymaster athlets less then 60 kg, Gemini crew around 150 kg.
Gemini 140 only: seats with very long movement range: 13 positions so possible movement 12 x 1,5 = 18 cm. So this boat can be used by bodies 130-175 cm.
