Originaltext

The Taran is the radical new addition to the Rockpool fleet, designed for the intermediate to advanced paddler. It steps away from the looks of the conventional British sea kayak to give very high performance with surprising levels of manoeuvrability and stability. The Taran can maintain 5.0 kts yet is a user friendly, practical kayak. The handling is good enough to get close in to the cliffs, stable enough for photos and confident enough for open crossings. It can be used for cruising, exploring, fitness training and racing.

Between the Lines:
The speed allows you to go further and see more in the paddling time you have available. It has quickly become a favourite within Rockpool as a solo day boat.

TARAN – In the Detail:
Hull: Length 18 feet 0 inches (549 cm) – Width: 20.5 inches (52 cm) – Volume: 383 litres.

The Taran is a fast sea kayak with easy and predictable handling in all conditions. The high volume bow gives a dry ride and maintains high speed through chop and rough conditions. The flattened U-shaped centre section ensures the fast hull is not compromised in terms of stability or manoeuvrability. The Taran is fitted with the SmartTrack rudder system as standard; this further enhances the handling, giving easy and precise heading changes. Without the rudder deployed the Taran is designed to weather cock slightly and responds well to lean steering. Though the Taran has fast, sleek lines it actually has the largest volume in the Rockpool fleet (383 litres), so there is plenty of scope to carry all that camping kit.

Hull:
The hull section begins with a deep V at the bow, blending into a tapered and flattened U-section for the centre, fading back to a buoyant V section for the stern. A combination of rocker and deadwood shaping gives good manoeuvrability and positive reaction to steering.
