The Nomad S1
light combines the touring capability and speed of the standard Nomad S1 (incl. spraydeck) with a travel-friendly weight and pack size. Due to the weight saving of about one kilogram and a significantly reduced pack size, the Nomad S1 light is also suitable for combined land and water tours and allows enough space in the backpack for further equipment. The Nomad S1
light is part of the
MRS StreamlineSL optimization.
Configuration
The Nomad S1 light is characterized by its central seating position and the symmetrical bow and stern and is therefore similar to a conventional kayak resp. its paddling characteristics. Furthermore the shape of the stern provides luggage capacity behind the seat. Due to the length of almost 3m a high speed is achieved, which provides more fun on longer paddle tours.
Outfit
The Nomad S1 light is an open boat without spraydeck. There are no loose parts such as the coaming and skirt. The transport of bigger things (e.g. backpacks, bicycles) is simplified. The seat can be varied to a certain extent in its position and adapted to your own body size.
In temperate climates without serious whitewater paddling deck-free provides a greater sense of freedom. Especially in rather calm waters you can easily do without a cover, above all in summer. For the colder months of the year it is also possible to combine the boat with an additional
dry suit to protect against the wet.
The packraf has a preinstalled soft mount for a removable fin/skeg for better tracking and increased speed. A small fin (mini skeg) is included in the delivery. A larger, more effective fin (Anfibio Skeg) can be chosen optional or purchased later.
Furthermore, the Nomad S1 light is equipped with the Rod Support Backrest RSB2. This backrest system combines a support rod backrest with a mesh backrest. This design clearly enhances overall seating comfort.
Use
The boat is ideal for solo or group tours, even with conventional hardshell kayaks and canoes. Due to the missing spraydeck the boat is especially suitable for longer paddle tours on calm waters and is a good choice for tours with a hiking part.
Typical areas of use include touring the extensive lakes in Scandinavia, coast hopping in southern Europe, large rivers on all continents, but also urban areas like the canals of Amsterdam.
Note
For good performance and safety it is important to pay attention to the right air pressure (especially in cold water). Because of the dynamics in a long hull and central seating position, too low pressure can lead to distortions and bends of the hull. We recommend a small
hand pump.
