The Artisan 5G is a kayak with a long and successful history, and it has become a Finnish legend Worldwide. The Artisan 5G is a true Scandinavian design with a fast and light fish form hull and deck construction. The hull has a gently sloping V which gives light paddling and predictable behavior in rough seas. It carries heavy loads easily and its easy loading is a benefit compared to most kayaks. The Artisan 5G is a great kayak for expeditions of one week or longer. The Artisan 5G is designed for medium and large sized paddlers with intermediate to advanced paddling skills. It is a easy to steer boat with body weight only and because of the retractable Kajak-Sport skeg system there is no issue with wind effects therefor the Artisan 5G is easy to control in various circumstances both with or without load.
The Artisan has gone through a evolution of years and the 5G is the 5th generation of this great design. We have used the Artisan Millennium as the base of this boat and improved and added several features. We increased the day hatch behind the seat in size, we added a day hatch in front of the cockpit rim, we redesigned the cockpit rim for more ergonomics, we installed the newest Kajak-Sport retractable skeg system, we added a compass recess, we lowered the hull slightly to make the kayak more slick, lower the center of gravity and create better rolling ergonomics, we made some minor changes to the hull to improve initial stability and we installed the new and innovative Kajak-Sport paddle float outrigger system.
Cargo space stern:103 liter
Cargo space bow:69 liter
