FAQ

Since the individual modules are self-contained, the bow and stern form watertight buoyancy bodies. The boat therefore always remains on the water surface. This was confirmed by means of tests by an official expert.

According to the official certificate, the NATSEQ is approved for navigation area D and may therefore be used in the protected coastal area. can be used without restrictions. As long as you follow the usual safety tips (life jacket, bilge pump, spraydeck if necessary, rowing equipment), you will also have a lot of fun with the NATSEQ on the sea.

You can use the boat like a fixed hull kayak without hesitation. Before setting off on a tour, all screws should be briefly checked for tightness and the tensioning mechanism should be carefully closed.

Since PE is a comparatively elastic material, it is normal that it works a little under mechanical stress. Since the force is applied horizontally, i.e. from top to bottom, but gaps can only occur in the vertical, i.e. longitudinal direction, the modules cannot spring apart, even if you forget to close the tensioning hook.

The kayaks are manufactured in our factory in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. 99% of all components and materials come from the EU.

Generally not. However, we might launch a special edition in the near future. If you are interested, then follow us on our channels.

Have a look at the manual on page DE-12 or at our YouTube channel. There we show you how to use the kayak trolley correctly.

Adjusting the position of the pedal is possible at any time and has no influence on the tension in the steering lines due to the innovative deflection system on the pedal.

Lowering and retrieving the control blade is done by pulling the ball handle of the retrieval line.

Since the PE is is a comparatively elastic material, it is normal that it works a little when subjected to mechanical stress. The gap at the stern therefore occurs because, due to its hull shape typical of kayaks, it does not rest completely on the ground and thus pulls a little. As soon as the boat is in the water, the gap disappears. Then tighten all the tensioning hooks again to the stop.

The tandem cockpit weighs 15.3kg.

Quite the opposite - we use a special HDPE with a UV factor of 10, while many PE boats only have a UV factor of 5. The high material quality as well as a material thickness that includes large safety reserves ensure that our kayaks last even longer.

A steering system offers additional safety. Especially when using the NATSEQ with the PACKER or as a tandem, the steering system should always be present as soon as a crosswind is to be expected.

The Match-ID stickers are used for double final inspection at the factory when the boats are packed and help the dealer to find the matching modules more quickly if he has ordered several kayaks. Basically, however, all parts fit together. So a later purchase is absolutely safe.

Use both hands, guide the tensioning rubber evenly from front to back and use both grip tabs at the same time to close the cover. That's it.

Rinse all mechanical parts with clean water to wash out salt, sand and dirt, wipe the boat dry with a sponge, if necessary wipe with a damp cloth without chemical detergents. Allow to dry, done. Do not oil the mechanism or anything similar, it is made entirely of stainless components. Oil would accumulate dirt and sand.
