Dex MkII

Identical to the original Dex but with a slightly higher front deck for more leg and foot space. The cockpit rim has more angle for easier entry and exiting of the kayak. A day hatch has been added in front of the cockpit rim as well for storage of small items like camera’s, telephone’s, snacks etc. Dex MkII is like all our kayaks standard equipped with the Kajak-Sport skeg system.

Traditional lay up (TR) Polyester/Diolen and fiber glass,

Extra Rigid (XR) Vinylester/carbon/Kevlar/glass fiber and diolen

Carbon light (CL) hull of carbon fiber sandwich with diolen resin with a deck constructed in fiberglass and vinylester.

TR is like the classic Skim yet with more reinforcement and therefore more rigid
XR is as expected even more rigid and nearly bomb proof
CL has the same rigidness as the XR but is by far the most lightweight lay up of the three.

The Dex MkII is prepared for use with a rudder, yet the rudder is an option.
