Anfibio Skeg / Fin Packraft evä ENNAKKOTILAUS

✅ Ominaisuudet

• Parantaa suuntavakautta ja nopeutta → vene pysyy suunnassa myös taukojen aikana
• Kevyt ja kelluva → paino vain 85 g, helppo kuljettaa repussa
• Helppo kiinnittää ja irrottaa → nopea asennus eri vesistöihin
• Erityisesti flatwater- ja touring-käyttöön → lisää melonnan tehokkuutta pitkillä matkoilla
• Soveltuu myös valkoiseen veteen → vähentää veneen kiertoliikettä ja tuo jopa 20 % enemmän työntövoimaa

Käyttö

• Suositellaan kiinnitettäväksi veneen perään (stern).
• Mahdollista käyttää myös useampia eväitä sivuilla tai keulassa (ei koskaan pohjassa).
• Sopii useimpiin packrafteihin ja veneisiin, kunhan kiinnitysalusta on asennettu (vakiona useimmissa Anfibio-malleissa, ei Nano).
• Helppo irrottaa matalissa vesissä, joissa pohjakosketus on mahdollista.

Tekniset tiedot

• Paino: 85 g (kelluva)
• Materiaali ja muoto: optimoitu keveys ja tehokkuus, toimii myös matalissa vesissä
• Yhteensopivuus: useimmat packraftit ja veneet (kiinnitysalusta vaaditaan)

Anfibio Skeg tekee melonnasta sujuvampaa, nopeampaa ja hallitumpaa – täydellinen lisävaruste jokaiselle packrafterille!

Small, light fin that improves boat tracking and speed. Recommended to put on of the stern of the boat. Easy to attache on and off. Especially for flatwater packrafting and distant touring. The efficiency of paddling can thus be increased. Adds 85g (floating).

The necessary mount is attached to most Packrafts (except Anfibio Nano).

A skeg or fin improves boat tracking and speed, thus the efficiency of paddling. It helps to keep the boat in the right direction, even if you stop or slow down your paddling (for taking pictures, snacks, put on clotths etc.). The use on open, calm waters is ideal. Especially when sailing, a skeg (better 3) helps to avoid drifting to the side, like a metal edge on skis!

The Anfibio Skeg is a small and light fin especially developed for packrafter needs. It has specifically been trimmed for lightness and effectiveness. The Anfibio Skeg has a balanced ratio of surface, shape and and a minimum weight of (floating!) 85g. This makes the desired effect clearly noticeable when paddling, but the fin remains easily transportable and can also be carried on backpack tours. Due to its special shape, it is also suitable for shallower waters typical of packraft.

However, the Anfibio Skeg should be dismantled before going into too shallow water where grounding is possible. The simple assembly/disassembly allows a quick change for different waters.

Before you can do this, you need to glue the mounting first! Check our Blog post for mounting and use (Google translate) or use our workshop services. The Anfibio Skeg can be used for all packrafts and all other boats (if fitting the mount).We mainly recommend to put one primary skeg to the stern of the boat. Optinal two fins can additionally be placed on the side tubes (but never to the the floor for rigidness and effectivness) to reduce drift. Sailer even put a further one on the bow of the boat.

Excursus: Skeg in whitewater A skeg in white water? Yes, as long as it is about open, deep and big volume white water. Every surfboard does have several fins for a good reason. But the fin is not only an advantage when surfing. The propulsion with double bladed paddle (in contrast to canoeing paddles on both sides or even a motor driven propeller in the stern) always causes a rotation of the boat in longitudinal axis, so the energy is only partly converted into propulsion (with packrafts typically about 60%). A forward stroke is always a mixture of rotation (the typical packraft swing) and forward impulse. One can minimize the effect by a steep paddle position, but in whitewater bracing bow strokes are often necessary, which causes an increased rotation, the efficiency of the paddle strokes becomes even smaller. Now the fin or skeg comes into play, which minimizes the rotation of the boat, no matter at which stroke, you get more propulsion (about 20%) or a higher speed in whitewater. The feeling of riding (open) white water changes notably. It opens up completely new routes, manoeuvres and whitewater sections for packrafts. It is because packrafts are so short, easy to turn and therefore somewhat slower that the effect is so great. So, just try it out if conditions allow!
