M.A.R. Kayaks was established in 1978.
The first factory had no more than 50 m2 and there Manuel Ramos, our
founder, produced his first boats for self-use. As the sport was growing
in Portugal the company increased its dimension.
After years of accumulating experience and knowledge, Nelo started the
international adventure. Spain was the beginning of an international exponential development, based on the gathering of information and experience.
Nelo is now the largest canoe manufacturer in the world, and with no
doubt one of the best. The factory has more than 5000m2 and 50 employees. Out of our 50 employees there is a big percent that does or has
done kayaking, and that is something that we are proud of, and for sure
contributes to our success.
Throughout the years we have acquired the knowledge, technology and
know-how to be able to produce different types of boats and other composite parts with the same craftsmanship.
Boats
Since the start in 1978 Nelo has produced more than 30.000 boats, with
a vast variety in models, constructions and technology.
The first self-designed boats date back to the end of the 80’s.
These models were improvements made from original designs, the first
fully original design appeared on the middle 90’s.
Now all our models are designed and conceived by us, with the help of
professional personnel and techniques. The help of our naval engineer
and of our R&D engineer as well as a big investment in prototyping
machinery has proved effective, making the self-design and conception
very rewarding.
The challenge of constant improvement is leading us through a development process. This process started with one concept that lies underneath
all our designs. During the years it suffered some readjustments, still this
concept is used both in touring and sprint boats.
The main analysis are made from three main factors: performance,
stability and comfort.
Location
We are based in Vila do Conde, a small city just north of Porto, in the
north of Portugal.
Besides the main factory and office, we have resellers all over the world.

This construction is specific for marathon racing, and
its main characteristics are lightness and stiffness.
The balance between weight and stiffness gives this

Maintenance
One of the big advantages of the composites is that they
don’t require much maintenance; of course there are some
crucial rules to extend the lifetime of your boat:
-Do not put it in the sun for long periods.
-Do not tight it too strongly in the racks.
-Only allow professionals to repair your boat.
-Never store or transport it inside the cover if the boat is
not well dry.
- And treat it like a baby.
RAL 9016 White
Marathon
Trimming
After receiving your boat, we recommend you do some tests
to find your best trim, to find it you should:
1. Start with the seat in the middle position.
2. Move the foot rest to fit you.
3. Check the behaviour at competition speed, the bow
should be around 1 cm into the water, in a stopped position
the bow should be well under water.
4. You should move your seat and foot rest together until
the boat is performing as described in point 3.
Usage
This is just one of many methods of finding the best position, though it always changes slightly from person to person, but these are the basic rules.
Boats should be used only by trained persons or under supervision. The use should be done under the rules established for each boat class.
Rudder Adjusting
Making your rudder straight is an essential part of enjoying
your boat.
In order to make it 100% perfect you should use the straps
inside your boat:
1. Hold the rudder blade in the straight position;
2. Use the straps one at a time, until the T bar goes straight
in the middle.
While paddling you can also make little adjustments by pulling the strap on the side the T Bar is tending to.

VANQUISH 3
After a very enriching Olympic cycle, where we reached enormous success with the Vanquish II, it was the time to bring something new to the
market.
The amount of expertise we got and received from athletes, coaches and
ourselves, was huge, and we actually had to hold ourselves back not to
operate some of this ideas before the 2008 Olympics.
The improvements we have applied are consistent with ones previously
made, what means the new generation of Vanquishes is one more step in
the direction in the quest of the perfect boat.
More technically we reached a new level of stability, glide and performance.
The new line is easier to handle direction and glide wise, allowing more
comfort what leads to even better performance. Also changes were operated in the deck to help the athlete with more mobility, to give him a bigger
feeling of “transmission” and “connection” to the boat and very important
a balanced, aggressive and good looking kayak.
In what concerns the weight ranges they were kept the same, as well as the
sizing in the C1’s where we keep the same 4 sizes. In the C2 class appears
the only new model the C2 Vanquish III M.
FLATWATER RACING BOATS
Racing has always been a priority in our strategy. We believe that the demand for perfection from the professional athletes is the best warranty to
improve our standards and our quality.
The shape is the most important factor in the conception of the racing
boat, still we are spending a lot of energy working on the other factors that
can improve performance and comfort of our athletes, that is exactly why
all our fittings and parts are thought to give the athlete many adjustments
and options.
