Thank you to the Sea Kayaker test paddlers for the excellent review of he Chilco.
Your statements confirm the performance, comfort and high quality workmanship characteristics we strive for. In the review (SC) "appreciated its design and functionality." All Seaward Kayak models are crafted with the safest and most practical systems. Each boat comes with an owner's manual in which we recommend that paddlers make time to adjust their foot pedals, seat bottom, backrest and self-rescue straps. Optimal handling is facilitated; "rudder pedals provide solid (TW) fixed foot bracing and pivoting toe pedals for rudder control." Comfort has been achieved; "a very versatile seat design". (SC) "After three hours I was surprised how comfortable
the seating was." It is our philosophy to give paddlers many "safety bonuses" and features that facilitate the fit & function of their boat. Along with all of our standard features, the Chilco has flush hatches and deck fittings, making it a very clean and attractive kayak. (SC) "well crafted and enjoyable boat." This multi-purpose boat is designed to be user-friendly. "It was certainly made to please a majority of paddlers... I had a great time in it"(SC).
We are very happy with the results of the review and appreciate the expert opinions of the test paddlers. They have pegged what we wanted to accomplish with the fast & easy handling Chilco.
