Grafton Paddle Sports

This is Matthew Watton's Grafton Paddle Sports Page - It isn't the official website. I just made this page because I really like their kayaks. I have a Time Bandit, Time Traveller, and Wizard (high deck model) and I love them all for different conditions.

See specification table below

UPDATES:

LOW VOLUME TIME TRAVELLER aka The '575' - as it is 5.75m long. It is a slightly scaled down verson of the very popular Time Traveller and is designed for 'lighter' men and women.

RACE BOAT? - Steve also has a plan for a kayak that is sleeker than the Time Bandit. I don't think Steve has decided on the name yet.

TIME BANDIT high deck- Steve has produced another version of the brilliant Time Bandit. The new version has a higher front deck that reminded me a bit of the front half of an Evolution Edge. It was designed for the bow to be more buoyant in rough water. The low front deck version is still available.

THE TIME TRAVELLER - Steve Muir has finished making his new multisport kayak. It is as long as the time bandit but it is a bit wider and more stable. It also has a larger cockpit so you can sit in it and put your legs in after you have sat down. There are thigh braces as well. It is only fractionally slower in calm water than the Time Bandit, but in challenging conditions an inexperienced paddler could go faster (than they would have in a time bandit) because they will be able to put all of their effort into driving forwards instead of struggling to stay upright.

This is the underslung rudder version of the time bandit. It is also available with a trailing rudder - or get it with both options. It only takes about 10 minutes to change between them.

TIME BANDIT - high deck - You can still get both rudder options with this model. This gives you the option to use the trailing rudder in rivers with weed or shallow water or the underneath rudder in open water with following waves when you want more control when steering as you chase the runs.
