The overall winners of the Yukon 1000 Canoe and Kayak race were paddling a Seaward Passat. As were 2nd and 3rd. The Yukon 1000 is a 1000 mile, 1600 Km race from Whitehorse, Yukon, to the Alaska Pipeline Bridge North and West of Fairbanks Alaska. See http://yukon1000.com for more information. The winners took just 6 days and 2 hours to complete the 1000 mile journey, spending 18 hours a day in their boats. This is a real testimony to the spead and comfort of these boats. There are some quite good photos of these kayaks in http://gallery.yukon1000.com/2009-y1k-harry-kern/
