It takes me Old Tandem kayak out into the ocean a bad idea?

Here is my yak. Http: / / www.oldtowncanoe.com / kayaks / tandem / twin_otter.html

Depends on the ocean. In the sheltered bay with warm and calm water in calm weather, you will be fine as long as you stay close to shore. But I would not recommend to use as a recreational-style boat in any kind of heavy surf or currents or colder water, and stiff wind. For one thing, it is an open cockpit so you have no way of holding spray and clean wool of the ship. One would definitely need to take a good high-volume hand pump. There is enough space for an inflatable flotation in the hold, so you can easily get flooded, or even have a boat sink. Secondly, this model has no rudder or skeg, so it will be difficult keep it to monitor directly in the wind and running water without enormous effort. It is very wide, so will tend to weathercock, and may be flooded, or even overturned when a wave hits it broadside. Trying to breach the head wave is also your body full of water. That is the reason why the closed cockpit sea kayaks boats. The design is really have to lakes and rivers moderate speed. it is more similar to a canoe. To take a canoe on the water thinking? Give it some thought. Open cockpit and "sit on top" of the ship you see people running in tropical waters tend to be bailing out their own models built to be swimming with a float chamber or inflatable parts. Your ship has none of these functions. Ocean is great - be sure you know what you get into and are equipped for you to back out.
