Point 65 Whisky 16 Rocker Touring Kayak
The Whisky 16 Rocker is the ultimate playboat in 3-layer ultra tough Polyethylene, designed by Nigel Foster, for ultra-precise handling and maneuverability. Even so, an absolute novice feels like Nigel Foster in
the cockpit of a Whisky 16. On gentle waters the boat is comfortable, stable, and easily maneuvered – an ideal boat to develop skills.
FOR THE EXPERIENCED PADDLER the Whisky
16 Rocker is perfect for getting in and out of rocky outcrops and maneuvering. With its fuller bow and stern shape to reduce plunging, the
Whisky 16 is designed to make the most of rough water, surf, and currents. It is perfect for day trips but spacious enough for a self- contained expedition paddling.
THE WHISKY 16 ROCKER has a more distinctive Rocker (the hull has a distinctive banana shape) compared to the Whisky 16 Tourer. The Rocker makes it more maneuverable and nimble which is great when paddling in waves and surf and going in and out of rock gardens along the coast for fun and Rock hopping. The Tourer, on the other hand, has a lower Rocker (the hull is more at) which gives the kayak more speed and tracking which is ideal for touring.
THE 3-LAYER PE CONSTRUCTION gives the Whisky 16 stiffness and strength while decreasing the weight. The Whisky 16 has two large oval aft and bow hatches, a large round day hatch behind the cockpit for access to items while on the water, and the Whisky hatch, a smaller round hatch in front of the key-hole cockpit that opens to an under-deck compartment.
COMFORT ALL DAY with Point 65 AIR-technology. The padded cockpit comes fitted with an ergonomically designed seat which provides excellent support as well as providing the close contact needed when rough-water playing, and a highly functional back support that offers great comfort and lumbar support. The Whisky 16 3L is standard fitted with the Point 65 AIR-Backrest™, an inflatable backrest for ultimate comfort and support.
THE COMPASS recess on the fore-deck accommodates a Silva 70P compass which is optional. The Whisky 16 is standard fitted with a retractable skeg and footrests. It is also available with an optional rudder control system.
