BlankFollowing on the recent thread on Grantha folding kayaks, I wonder if
any of you have direct experience of another make of foldables, the Sigma
kayaks which were made (or imported to North America?) by Kayak Labs.
What is their history?
They still have a website with descriptions of the kayaks at
http://home.ici.net/~k-lab . The double (Sigma 2Z) seems to have an
interesting layout with three cockpits/hatches with the central one being
used for solo paddling.  I am considering buying one second hand. With no
spare parts available the original build quality becomes even more important
as does the feasibility of do-it-yourself repairing!
Grateful for any comments...
