The kayak OLO was professionally designed and made in Andrzej Arminski shipyard located in Szczecin, Poland . It's unique design is compromise between safety during extreme ocean challenge, and feeling that it should be close to spirit of kayaking.
The most innovative part of the boat are hoops over the head of the paddler. They play several important roles.
- It makes kayak self-righting,
- It makes boat unsinkable (special foam is inside),
- Solar panel is mounted on the top,
- Allows to mount sun-protection roof.
Do Aleksandra Doby,
ReplyDeletePragnę serdecznie pogratulować dokonanego wyczynu.
My, kajakiści z Argentyny, podziwiamy to - jakże doniosłe - wydarzenie.
A ci z nas, którzy mają polskie korzenie, dodatkowo są dumni że dokonał go właśnie Polak!
Pozdrawiam,
Rick
