Row Touring
Back to Virus in Action!
Kataram
and Turbo II on the Missouri River for a 5 day trip. The Kataram's high
stability is used to advantage for a relaxing break, wildlife viewing, and
site seeing. The sit-on-top design allows the rower to stretch as much as
necessary to maintain comfort.
This Turbo II had a starting weight of nearly 300lb. Seventeen gallons of
fresh water was stored in jugs inside the bow compartment. The boat was
also loaded on top of the deck fore and aft in water tights bags with enough
camping gear for 5 days for two.
Gear is secured with strap eyes in the deck with gear secured with shockcord and webbing.
All Virus boats can be outfitted for touring. Add-ons include watertight hatches and strap eyes on the deck. These stable, fast, and beginner friendly boats are ideal for open-water and quite river touring applications.
There
is room in the hull of a Turbo II for plenty of camping gear. The polyethylene
material makes the Turbo II boats excellent for touring where docking and
beaching may be necessary.
