Point 65 Caipirinha Tandem

Point 65 Caipirinha Tandem is a modular sit-on-top kayak for two paddlers, built on the Mojito platform. It was designed by Magnus de Brito. The kayak is made up of three modules, so it can be transported in a car and stored at home. By removing the middle module, the Tandem becomes a Solo.

Construction and details

Snap-Tap modular connector
The Caipirinha is connected using the patented Point 65 Snap-Tap connector. The tandem consists of a front, middle and rear module that connect in seconds. Remove the middle module and you have the Caipirinha Solo. Add a second middle module for even more space for cargo or even a third paddler.

Cabin
Rowers sit on raised seats with folding backrests. The backrests are covered with quick-drying foam. There are two large storage compartments on each side of the cockpit for essential items.

Rudder
The Caipirinha has a keel rudder and easily adjustable rudder pedals. The rudder is operated with one hand, so the kayak keeps its direction and is easy to maneuver.

Rowing and pedaling
The hull is designed to float well when rowing with a regular double-sided paddle. The kayak has a slot for the manufacturer's ImpulseDrive pedal drive, which propels the kayak with foot power, leaving your hands free for fishing. The drive is not included.

What does 200 kg load capacity mean?

The manufacturer states that the Caipirinha Tandem has a maximum load capacity of 200 kg. This includes the weight of both paddlers and all the equipment you are carrying. The weight of the kayak itself is 39 kg.

Example: 85 kg male rower + 70 kg female rower + 20 kg of equipment = 175 kg, 25 kg remaining before the limit.
Example: 95 kg rower + 85 kg rower + 20 kg of equipment = 200 kg, which is already the maximum limit.

The manufacturer does not announce the optimal load range.
