Kyay vessel hardware requirements

Kayak Hardware Requirements Kayaks are divided into two categories: kayaks and kayaks. Kayaks originated from small boats made by the Inuit people of Greenland, covered with whale skin or sea otter skin, and paddled at both ends with paddles. Kayak sports originated in Canada and are therefore also known as Canadian kayak sports.

 

 

Kayaks are divided into two types: kayaks and kayaks. Kayaks originated from small boats made by the Inuit people of Greenland, covered with whale skin or sea otter skin, and paddled at both ends with paddles. Kayaking originated in Canada, so it is also called Canadian kayaking. Kayaking originated in the 1860s in North America among the Greenland Eskimos. In January 1924, the International Kayak Association (abbreviated as I.R.K.) was established in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 1936, at the 11th Olympic Games held in Berlin, kayaking was listed as an official Olympic event [2]. In 1954, the Beijing Water Sports Games established men's 1000-meter kayaking and women's 500-meter kayaking events. The higher organization of kayaking is the International Kayak Federation [4-5], headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The higher institution in China is the Chinese Kayak Association, headquartered in Beijing. Kayaks and rowing boats should have raised horizontal and vertical tangents (horizontal and vertical); the horizontal point of the deck should not be higher than the higher point of the front edge of the cockpit; do not add attachments to the boat to avoid unfairness to athletes; during the competition, do not place various electronic or electrical equipment on the boat, including: water pumps, tachometers, fatigue meters, heart rate monitors.

Paddles and athlete numbers. All kayaks and rowing boats should have number plates to indicate the lane. The number plates should be black with white lettering, upright and opaque. The height of the numbers on the license plate is 15 cm, and the font thickness is 25 mm.

 

The number plate should be placed on the center line of the aft deck (for the front deck paddler). The size of the license plate is 18x20 cm. The number cloth provided by the host country association can only be placed behind the athlete. According to the competition rules, participants have the right to use their own kayaks. Kayaking equipment. According to the International Rowing Federation, kayaks originated from small boats used by the Inuit people of North America. This small boat uses animal bones as a frame and animal skin as a hull, so it is called a kayak. In 1965, MacGregor improved it for travel and sports. The hulls of modern kayaks are mostly made of wooden frames, aircraft plywood, or fiberglass. Modern kayaks are streamlined, smooth, lightweight, narrow, and as long as a space shuttle. The fore and aft decks are completely enclosed, except for the athlete's cockpit.

 

The main accessories of kayaks include footrests, seats, rudders, rudder ropes, and rudders. International rules limit the length, width, and weight of kayaks. Each boat has a rudder. The K1, K2 rudder blade thickness does not exceed 10 mm; or K4 does not exceed 12 mm; the boat can be designed to be inside the boat (kayak) rather than outside the boat (surfboard). Athletes use it to propel the kayak forward. The kayak paddle is a double-bladed paddle, with one blade at each end of the paddle. Its main structural feature is that the two blades form a vertical or near-vertical intersecting angle. According to the different deflection directions of the blades, the left and right blades are divided into two types. Athletes can choose left and right blades according to their paddling habits. In recent decades, kayak paddles have developed rapidly due to the lack of unified rules on the size and shape of paddles. The weight, length, shape, size, and blade area of the blade can be selected according to the athlete's height, technical style, strength, gender, and different boat types.
