Dieses wunderschöne und hochwertige Tandem Kajak von Point 65°N heisst "Mercury Tandem"
Es ist tatsächlich zerlegbar in 4 Teile. Jedes von diesen Teilen stellt eine eigene "Schwimmkammer" dar und ist deshalb natürlich dicht.

Mit dem patentierten„Snap-Tap“- System kann das Freizeitkajak in wenigen Sekunden von einem Einsitzer in einen Zweisitzer verwandelt werden. Durch das Schnellverschluss-System kann das Kajak problemlos in Ihren Kofferraum verstaut werden. Entworfen vom bekannten Entwicklungsingenieur Magnus De Brito, ist das Mercury sehr vielseitig, stabil und dennoch zu Höchstleistungen fähig. Es ist nicht nur wunderschön sondern durch seine Form auch sehr schnell und unglaublich gutmütig zu paddeln.
