Shots of the red PakYak's frame. New features that are visible in these shots if you look carefully:

  • Horizontal one-half inch angle bar that swings up under top bar of frame to lock it straight.
  • Cord from end to hook on top stringer that pulls end side rails into position (a nice trick but not a huge improvement).
  • Strap to hold top stringer in place (needed now that the angle bar has replaced the longer strap that was used on the original PakYak).
