The racing rules for canoe and kayak dimensions saw a dramatic change
when Congress decided to abolish the minimum
beam rule. We at Kirton Kayaks decided that this was the moment for a
complete redesign of our range and we have
completed our first three K1 models and will during the course of Winter
2001 introduce new K2 models. However the new
ICF Rule does not preclude the use of the earlier designs in racing and
the following three K2 designs remain in our
catalogue by popular demand.

The bow is high to carry the heavier crew and the rear deck is low
to improve performance in cross wind.

This kayak has been in service for many years but is still a firm
favourite with many crews particularly those who paddle the very long
courses such as the Devizes Westminster Race where comfort in the
boat is of utmost importance.
