How cool is that ?

That said though, my Father once built a sailing dinghy with a glass panel in the floor for his boss's sons. Off the West coast they sailed over a basking shark, got the fright of their lives, and never went out in the boat again

That is stunning. Certainly a big step up from a mask and snorkel. Wonder how much it was??

 

[Wayland]

Brilliant..

That would be so cool, but you'd wince every time you scratched it.

 

[Opal]

Have you read a review?

 

[TROOPER]

Now that is MAD!!!!!!, Completely understand why you want one though.

If only the paddles were a match?

You need some kind of peel off strips...

Has anybody seen my boat? I'm sure I left it around here somewhere!

 

[Claudiasboris]

Good find Toddy! That is cool.

Imagine all the shopping trolleys you could see....Seriously, though, now that waterways are getting cleaner this should be an awesome way to paddle.

I remember seeing these a good few years ago.

They also make inflatable boats with clear windows in too.

If you want a canoe which is see thru, this weelassie also gives you some beautiful woodwork to look at as well.

Oddly it brings back memories of wonder woman's aeroplane.

If only Her Bikini matched...

That'll do nicely for my summers by the Mediterranean. Sit on kayaks with transparent panels are making becoming popular. But I want what you're having!

A coracle made with withies and clear polythene would probably go down well!

It's a canoe though isn't it...... not a kayak ?

Most definately not a canoe!
Kayaks are designed to be uncomfortable and wet boats of limitted carrying capacity that can only be paddled from the sitting position.
Canoes are designed to be paddled in comfort from the kneeling, sitting, half kneeling and one knee kneeling positions, poled in a standing position or sailed while carrying loads of kit
Never give a Kayak thoughts of superiority by calling it a canoe - even id someone has forgotten to put its top on.

"Kayaks are for getting wet in - Canoes are for getting places in!"
NEVER insult a canoe by calling it a kayak!

So if you kneel to paddle a Kayak is a canoe but if you sit & paddle a canoe is a kayak

So if you kneel to paddle a Kayak is a canoe but if you sit & paddle a canoe is a kayak

A Kayak you sit in and paddle.... A Canoe you kneel in and paddle, of coures you can sit in a canoe if you want , but the origanal way was to kneel. Most people say double ended paddle is kayak , single ended is Canoe... that is personal preferance, you can use either in either craft...

Try telling an Eskimo he just plays in his Kayak.... and does not use it to get anywere....

I like kayaks I learned to paddle them on the River Awe I'm still a white water lover

Kayaks don't mind if you roll, you just roll up again, unlike canoes that fill up with water and deposit you and your goods in the drink
