Boat "Kazanka": technical characteristics and features

The domestic market offers a lot of small-sized swimming equipment for recreation and fishing. Since the days of the Soviet Union, one of the most popular "utensils" was the boat "Kazanka", the technical characteristics of which can not be called ideal. Nevertheless, the ship was constantly being finalized, resulting in a whole line under this brand.

Modifications

The boat "Kazanka", whose technical characteristics will be considered further, has several models, differing in some constructive details. In the batch production the following modifications were launched:

1. Variations of M ("Yuzhanka").
2. The model is numbered 2M.
3. Ships under the index 5 (M2 / M3).

The boat "Kazanka M", whose technical characteristics are generally identical for most variations, is equipped with a body made of duralumin alloy. All considered boats have low draft, easy access to the glider and optimum load capacity.

Modest seaworthy indicators do not allow the use of the vessel on rough rivers. However, the boat "Kazanka", the technical characteristics of which are not equal to the boat, is perfect for fishing and relaxing on calm water. The average distance of travel is not more than a kilometer from the coast, while on the ship it is allowed to install small and medium-power motors.

History of creation

The first boat "Kazanka", the technical characteristics of which improved over time, was published in 1955. The developer and manufacturer was the SP Gorbunov enterprise located in Kazan.

The material used to build the ship was also used for the construction of aircraft and spacecraft. It is an alloy of copper, aluminum and manganese, known as duralumin. Its advantages are lightness, strength, long service life and no exposure to corrosive processes. The boat "Kazanka M", technical characteristics of which can not be called ideal, has gained great popularity among fans of river recreation and fishing.

Pros and cons

A more modern model is a vessel under the 5M2 index. It has several large dimensions and improved technical parameters. For some time the boat was considered the longest swimming facility for fishermen in the Soviet Union. The five-meter long and skeleton construction allowed to accommodate up to six passengers simultaneously.

To the advantages of the boat in question, users attribute resistance to external factors, good capacity, unpretentiousness in maintenance, good maneuverability. There are also shortcomings. For example:

• The problem with the stability in troubled water;
• Rather weak bottom;
• Falling splashes on the stern due to the features of the keel rim;
• Limited by the power of the hinged motor.

It is worth noting that the ship, despite all the disadvantages, has a low cost, as well as the availability of supplies.

Boat "Kazanka 5M2": technical characteristics

Below are the technical plan parameters:

• Length / width / height - 5,0 / 1,6 / 0,8 meters;
• The angle of deadliness is seven degrees;
• Loaded weight - 250 kilograms;
• Index of carrying capacity - 600 kg;
• Passenger capacity - six people;
• The maximum power of the outboard motor is 50 horsepower;
• Seaworthiness on the height of the surmountable wave - 75 centimeters.

The boat "Kazanka 2M", the technical characteristics of which are given above, has a body made of duralumin, low draft and easy access to the gliding mode, which is perfectly aggregated with a low-power engine.

Advanced version

The updated version of the domestic punt has a converted cockpit, increased maximum power of power plants, protection of the transom from moisture, rubber seals. The inner compartment grew due to the removal of the transom. Such a decision is justified, but there was a risk that the boat "Kazanka 5М4", whose technical characteristics are an order of magnitude higher, will be flooded with water in the field of engines.

The new version is equipped with a modified panoramic windscreen design, the steering wheel is made of plastic. In addition, there was a compartment for storing small tools and fishing gear. Between the luggage compartment and the cockpit there is a partition. The design of the swimming device allows a boat full of water with passengers to stay afloat for a long time. Control removal from the coast is up to three kilometers.

Equipment

Directly in front of the working part on the deck is a protective element in the form of an organic windscreen. It serves to protect passengers from water and wind. There is a glass from the right and left designs. Around it there is a special frame from the profile, with which it is fixed to the brackets. The docking points are finished with a rubber seal, which protects the part from vibration and mechanical impact.

The outboard motor is controlled via a cable system. Additional control is provided by the steering wheel, console and associated brake, as well as transmission units. The bottom of the boat is covered with slates (fastened with screws) from a plywood resistant to moisture. A remote control scheme for motors of the Neptune or Vortex class is provided.

Features

To the slans are attached two longitudinal profiles with special nests. They are mounted a pair of folding seats. Frames of armchairs are made of metal pipes, decorated with soft cushions. As a finishing material, vinyl is used.

By transforming the chairs you can make a full bed for three people. If required, it is possible to install a tarpaulin or similar device. On the perimeter of the boat are mounted arcs, on which the frame of the fence is assembled. The side elements are equipped with brackets, the rest of the fastening is done by means of hooks, loops and screws. On the panel there are safety valves. The alarm mast, located on the bracket in the center of the windshield, helps to move at night. In addition, side lights and batteries are provided for their recharge.

Customer Reviews

Boat "Kazanka 5M3", the technical characteristics of which are identical to the second series, is in demand among fishermen and lovers of water walks on the reservoirs with a little excitement. Due to the advanced design, mounted motors can be mounted on the vessel with a capacity from 30 to 55 horsepower. The main advantages of the swimming device in question are its high capacity, ease of maintenance and affordable price.
