Lekker Albatross 2 seater

WHAT THE ALBATROSS IS ALL ABOUT

Hull design

The Albatross’ hull is engineered for exceptional stability and balance, accommodating heavier paddlers comfortably in either the front or back seat.

It has a rather long waterline to maximize speed, but with a touch of rocker and a sloped bow to keep it maneuverable and able to climb over waves.

Full-length hull grooves enhance structural rigidity and improve tracking performance.

The hull’s convex sidewalls seamlessly blend into rounded rails, optimizing secondary stability and making it insusceptible to side impacts from rocks and waves.

The Albatross comes standard without a rudder, but a rudder option is available. Most paddlers will find the Albatross highly manageable without a rudder; it’s primarily recommended for use in significant swells or strong winds.

Deck design

The Albatross’ deck design is clean and lean, while incorporating all necessary features for high functionality.

The bow boasts substantial volume, making it easier to punch through and over waves. The mid section of the boat is relatively high to ensure the driest possible ride, while also helping to keep paddlers inside when hitting rocks or waves. The stern deck slopes down to reduce wind interference. The lower stern also make it easier for a swimmer to grasp the back handle, and easier to climb aboard from the back too.

Two identical open cockpits are widely spaced to prevent paddle interference. This design allows paddlers of any size to comfortably occupy either the front or back position.

Extended paddle cutaways ensures a comfortable, efficient paddling style despite the generous width of the boat.

Hull-matching indents on the deck make the Albatross stackable, perfect for when you have a fleet of them.

The front and back handles are positioned off-center, improving carrying ergonomics given the width of the hull, and accommodating rudder installation. Dual side handles on each side facilitate solo manhandling of the boat and assist with re-entry after swimming.

10″ hatches provide access to internal storage compartments. These hatches are recessed into shallow “tankwell”-style indents, allowing for additional on-deck storage.

D-rings are added for attaching backrests. The seats are designed for maximum comfort and support without backrests, but if you prefer to use backrests, we got you covered. D-rings are also added for thigh straps, which is recommended when paddling in rougher conditions.

The design is finished off with adjustable footrests, paddle holders, bottle holders, bungees and bungee hooks. All fittings have been recessed properly, to prevent snagging.

Finally, there are two well-places surfaces for attaching rodholders, if that’s your vibe.
