Pakayak, il kayak che si smonta. Un progetto di quattro ragazzi in crowdfunding

Che idea! Un kayak che si smonta e le parti entrano una nell’altra come in una matrioska. In pratica un modo furbo per avere un kayak rigido ma semplice da trasportare e da stivare.

Pakayak lo hanno pensato quattro ragazzi che hanno realizzato dei prototipi e lanciato una campagna di crowdfunding (il finanziamento 2.0 a cui si affidano tante start up: una raccolta fondi on line che, alla fine, premia le idee migliori) su kickstarter.com. Fino a ora hanno raccolto 156.000 dollari e il loro goal, che gli permetterร  di iniziare a produrre il kayak, รจ raggiungere i 427.000 dollari.

Canoe e kayak, rigidi o gonfiabili che siano, sono sempre piรน diffusi anche a bordo di barche “normali”, non solo su grandi o super yacht. In effetti sono un “gioco” perfetto da usare per esplorare la costa mentre la barca resta tranquilla all’ancora. E sono anche un mezzo, per i piรน sportivi, alternativo al tender.

La scelta tra rigido o gonfiabile รจ legata essenzialmente al problema dello spazio, da un punto di vista delle prestazioni quelli rigidi sono decisamente migliori. Ora Pakayak con il suo Bluefin 14 – un kayak rigido vero e proprio – ha un po’ rivoluzionato tutto escogitando un modo per compattarlo.

Ecco come funziona: Pakayak Bluefin 14 รจ formato da sei parti che quando si smontano entrano uno dentro l’altro fino a ottenere un “blocco” alto 1 metro, largo 0,6 e profondo 0,4. Per assemblarlo รจ molto semplice: dei lacci a tenuta stagna bloccano tra loro i sei pezzi e il gioco รจ fatto. Bastano cinque minuti e si รจ pronti per pagaiare.

Se vi รจ piaciuta questa “idea” aderite alla campagna di crowdfunding, mancano ancora una ventina di giorni: si chiude il 26 luglio!

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
