Hello from Cornwall....

Post by luckmurph » 22 Sep 2018, 19:15

Hi all,
Complete novice to the world of Sib's, looking to purchase one in the not too near future, mainly for fishing off, currently using a kayak (kaskazi dorado) which i love even just for paddling trips
But quiet liking the thought of a sib, to get out a bit further afield and cover more ground plus take the family out with me, i normally fish the Fal estuary near St Mawes
Been looking at the Takacat range but haven't got a clue really so hopefully this forum can help!!

Cheers
Andy

Welcome to the forum luckmurph. I just collected a brand new Takacat today from the boat show. Hoping to get it inflated tomorrow, and on the water in a couple of weeks time.

I opted for a 3.4 LX with open transom, and I’m putting a Tohatsu 9.8 2 stroke on the back end of it. What surprised me was the amount of deck space they have for a 3.4m boat. The 3.4 they had inflated at the show looked massive.

Hi Andy . Great part of the world to boat in. I did do a review of taskbar 3.4 on here. Have a search and read. Good guys to deal with at Hypro in Lymington.

Welcome to the forum and as long as you enjoy your boating whichever way you do it... that's the important bit!
