Re: The Fenn Elite vs other Fenns

Hi Rob -
Actually, that is pretty helpful - Thanks!

Hi Rob,

Forgot to ask in last post about the Elite,

Did they take a little rocker out of the tail ?

Follow a smoother line off that 'angle' spot 3' back from the bow ?

Or change overall ?

Is the rudder in the same spot ?

Thanks.
Aloha,

I took a couple of photos of the two skis side by side after the Dubai Shamaal. The Mako6 is the one with the flames.

Thanks for the photos Alain there perfect.
You can really see the differences, even if they are minor.

Right on, thanks Alain,

A picture we would all like to see is one boat over the other, both in the same frame, shot straight on from the side.

Ex. Get two step ladders, and place boats one over the other on the rungs to shoot. This would show difference in rocker Fenn is talking about and we would like to see.

The rudder has moved forward; the bucket has moved back. Rocker has been reduced both in the nose and tail. Hull length has not changed.

We'll take measurements and publish them along with some photos that will illustrate the differences... Stay tuned.

I couldn't help but notice the boats that both Jasper Mocke and Barry Lewin were paddling at the Perth World Cup race...they looked like the new Fenn's and not their usual sponsored Custom Kayaks Icon.

Come on Barry/ Jasper, give us a comparision!

Actually they weren't on the new Fenns - they were paddling Millenniums! ;D
