Click Photos to Enlarge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mk2 was shaped by Ian and Terry in Dec 2005 and is similar to the current model except it had a distinctive bulbous tail and a “clip on” deck ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mk3 had the bulbous tail “removed” and a more normal tail was built , also some rocker (hull banana)was removed ,the “clip on deck” was also discontinued and an internal flange on the hull and an external “tape edge” was used for the join instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mk4 was a development of the Mk3 with the sides of the hull “bevelled” from the footwells back ,this both lowered the volume, made it faster(less frontal area) the lower volume caused the ski to sit deeper ,it used the exact same shape of the deck as the Mk3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MK4b. The platform on which the footwells sits is lowered 13mm and the footwells now touch (in fact glued) to the hull , allowing venturi drainage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MK5. Some freeboard is removed from the MK4b ( none on the front deck but 20mm at the seat through to 30mm at the rudder) and the Lower volume ski is born, there are other small changes made also. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MK6 coming soon , an adjustable leg length ocean ski /spec ski “hybrid” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MK7 is being developed from the present Mk5 , the main changes will be more V behind the rudder , less space for water above the footwells and more cutaway at the paddle entry and an optional watertight storage compartment forward of the steering pedals. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
