I’ve been wanting to try out a Walker Bay dinghy—they claim to be easily rowed and that should augur well for use with a Travel 1003. You’ll see we also trial a extension/offset device for the tiller which we borrowed from David who you may remember from the Sea-eagle kayak…
Looking for a slipway that can haul Current Sunshine I went exploring around the southern end of Pittwater. With a Travel 1003 on a Zodiac I can ghost along at rowing speed all day. A measely 50 watts of power gives me about 3km/hr which is gentle travling for sure…
Whew! Its quite a relief to have stock of most items. Since setting up shop six months ago its been difficult to get stock. Now for the first time we have at least one of most products and a handful of the popular items such as Travel 1003 S, and…
Lamoore yachts at Palm Beach make some stable easily driven dinghies and I’ve been keen to try one out with a Cruise 4 and a 1003 and today I got my chance…
It took just a quick test drive of a Torqeedo on the Zodiac around Crystal Bay to convince Tim and Jocelyn that a Travel 1003 would be ideal match for their inflatable dinghy which they carry in their motorhome. Well, its not really a motorhome—with 1500 watts of solar panels…
Stock of some models has been in short supply but next week I’m expecting stock of Cruise 2, Base Travel, Travel 1003 and Ultralight. I have already promised some of these and so if you’re thinking of ordering soon, give me a call so you’re in the loop. Chris: 0409…
The Classic and Wooden Boat Festival will be held on the weekend of 16 and 17 October and I’ll be there with Ian Souter’s Viking style rowing boat Se Upp. We’ll have a Travel 1003 on this boat and its builder, Rob Tearne, will be doing rowing demonstrations of this…
Right from the start I’ve offered free delivery in the local area – and what I considered local is anywhere in the greater Sydney region. Thats quite an area, and clearly I was ok about spending time and money to do so. On the other hand, I had this odd…
Which propeller should you use on the 1003? Did you even know that you have a choice? The standard prop that comes with the 1003 is a two-bladed one that is optimised for speed and power for the vessel that Torqeedo expects most users to have. Thats a result of…
You’ll be intrigued as me by the hydraulic steering that David has set up on his SeaEagle kayak and how we combined it with the remote throttle to make a really user friendly rig. As well we’ve done more comprehensive propeller comparisons and I’ll have some graphs to show later.…
