Kajak-Sport is the best known and the most respected manufacturer of watertight kayak hatch covers in the world. We supply hatch covers and rims for other kayak manufacturers, stores and small / home builders to over 30 countries all over the world.

Hatches

Kajak-Sport original hatch cover Kajak-Sport original hatch cover series is made of real rubber.

100 % watertight hatch cover solution is created for the most demanding “expedition” use, when the cover is used in aberrant

conditions and when the maximum reliability is essential. The cover is equipped with both inside and outside leash holders. Its material is extremely durable and long-lived. It is also fully UV-protected.

It’s recommended to add silicon or some similar lubricant in the inner edge of the hatch cover, especially in the initial phase to help the use of the cover.

The oval cover needs to be installed in a straight line with the rim to seal it properly. Line marks help you in convergence.

> TESTED WATERTIGHT HATCH SOLUTIONS Kajak-Sport click-on cover The click-on cover is a light and vigorous kayak hatch cover which is made by combining two different materials together. The rigid centre part reaches to top of the hatch rim and secures that the cover can’t be pushed inside due to force of a wave. Soft edge seals and attaches properly to the hatch rim and gives good watertight contact between the cover and the rim. Stylish click-on cover is waterproof and extremely easy to use. There are both inside and

outside leash holders and a handy opening grip. Both materials are durable- and fully UV-protected.

The click-on cover is used all over the world and it has found its way especially to the deck of the light and ultralight composite kayaks. Numerous tests, reviews and praxis prove that this cover is a reliable and watertight cover solution even in rough conditions.

Kajak-Sport LRC-HT hatch cover Kajak-Sport LRC-HT series is our latest hatch development. ‘HT’ describes the hard top in the centre of the cover, like in click-on cover. But in LRC-HT the rigid centre area is just smaller which increases stretch ability of the cover to improve watertightness and allow more variation on the accuracy of measurement of

the rim. We have added special slip substance in the LRC-HT series already in the production phase to help the user to get it

Kajak-Sport LRC-e hatch cover The Light Rubber Cover (LRC-e) Hatch series is our latest hatch development together with the LRC-HT series. ‘e’ like elasticity describes this series most incisive. This cover is made for an option for the original rubber cover. The LRC-e has a good stretch ability to work watertight in PE-rims. It is lighter than the original rubber cover and has more elegant visual surface quality. The

lightness can easily be noticed as this series really floats! The profile of the LRC-series is identical compared to the original

Rudder

KS-Navigator rudder The true specimen of our continous product development skill. The navigator is a unique rudder system.

Instead of rotating the blade around the axel it slides smoothly on the deck and back to the water.

Storing the blade vertically on the deck of the kayak when unemployed minimizes the wind surface and helps when the kayak is strored or transported.

Completely redesigned foil plastic blade minimizes the drag of the rudder and improves the slide together

with the new two-piece rockerpart.

The mechanism is simple and more reliable than any spring loaded rudder system.

The blade also has a new locking mechanism.

It locks down when deployed and opens itself when lifted up.

The locking mechanism can simply be switched off if wanted in club or rental use to improve carelessness.
