Marinell wrote:- "What exactly does "maximum capacity" for a kayak mean?" Nothing. Before buying a kayak get a business card from your favourite litigation lawyer (I recommend Mayer, Brown and Platt). Take this to the dealer and ask him and the builder to provide a maximum safe load figure and sign it. Then put the figures in an envelope and send it to your lawyer with instructions to sue till they bleed if something happens to you. Put another copy in a safe deposit box in case you decide to change lawyers.
