PengYi Yu-Folding Kayak Extreme Test - Chapter 1
I won't go into the preparation work for those boat loading skills. Let me briefly introduce the testing environment. It was cloudy on that day, with a temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius, northeast winds of 4-5 levels, offshore winds of 6 levels, seawater temperature of about 27 degrees Celsius, wave height of 1-1.5 meters, and high tide...
We tested three boats together, helping each other and rescuing each other. We also prepared the contact information of the speedboat and three tugboat ropes. During the test, there were multiple fishing boats operating within a 200 meter radius, which could ensure the safety of the test to the greatest extent possible. After summarizing, these preparations did play a significant role...
The way to quickly and smoothly get out of the big wave area is to face the waves with the bow of the boat, quickly put on the wave skirt, and when the waves lift the bottom of the boat, quickly row the oars to adjust the bow. When the next row of waves comes over, seize the opportunity to charge outward. As long as the balance is maintained well and the bow of the boat is not tilted by the waves, it can generally be charged out...
Test experience: Thanks to the 60cm width of the boat and the support of airbags on both sides, it has high stability in the face of irregular waves, and can handle even side waves with confidence...
In the horizontal wave area, passing through the waves is also relatively smooth. Generally, one meter of side waves can be ridden over, and of course, the masters are also very skilled...
If it is a big wave coming from behind, the stern of the boat will be raised high near the beach, and the bow of the boat is likely to be inserted into the beach and then overturned by the big wave...
The insurance method is to proactively disembark from the boat about 20 meters offshore, pull the stern of the boat by hand, let the waves push the boat vertically towards the beach, and maximize the protection of the boat's structure...
When doing pressure water balance, it is relatively easy to achieve due to the high buoyancy...
