Micronautical Design is a concept that I thought of years ago.
It’s about making very small watercraft such as kayaks, canoes, dinghies, etc. more friendly to the people who operate them (-sounds like a god idea, eh?… ), and through this increase the overall performance of these small, personal boats (-it works! …)
Technically speaking, it means developing the new possibilities offered by our invention named “Twin Hull Personal Water Craft” , which was granted U.S. utility patent number 6871608
When it comes to designing or outfitting fishing kayaks, Micronautics can improve the boat’s ergonomics, bio mechanics, lateral stability, tracking, speed, mobility and ‘fishability’ (-we all know what Fishability means, don’t we?…)
A Micronautical approach can improve motorized kayaks, whether they’re outfitted with electric trolling motors, or outboard gas engines.
I created the Micronautical Design website years ago, and didn’t pay much attention to it until recently, when it occurred to me that following the amazing developments in W kayak sailing, fishing, rowing, and motorizing, the Micronautical site itself could benefit from being redesigned, outfitted with some new features, and loaded with new content focused on fishing kayak design and outfitting. Needless to say, that the Micronautical site features the work of many wonderful people from around the world, whose creativity helped propelling the W boat concept to the forefront of small boat design. The site is still in a reorganization phase, and we’ll add more stuff to it in weeks to come.
This blog, Wavewalk Fishing Kayaks, will keep being the place where things happen on a continuous basis – It’s Wavewalk’s main broadcasting channel, and the place where sensible kayak anglers and paddlers meet!
