Hi,

I am interested in buying your Delsyk 430.  Where and when could I come and see it?  I am on the mainland (from Sidney) Sunday thru Wednesday in the South Surrey area.  Also, do you know how much it weighs?

Thanks,

Delwyn Smith

Length: 16′-5″
Beam: 22.5″

Good condition. Former club kayak, very well looked after.

Fibreglass construction. Rudder. 2 hatches with covers. Paddle included.

“The WaV is roomy, playful, and elegant. Designed for medium sized paddlers, this kayak can also fit the tallest of paddlers with comfort due to its large cockpit and high volume deck. Its unique hull profile with pronounced keel allows the WaV to track like a much longer boat, yet, once leaned, the WaV becomes playfully quick and responsive.”

Delsyk Design Nifty 430

Length: 14′
Beam: 24″

Good condition.  Former club kayak, very well looked after.

From the manufacturer: “A very comfortable and capable sea kayak! The Nifty has plenty of room in the large cockpit – even for bigger paddlers. Stability is super solid, and it excels in wind or choppy seas resulting in an extremely reassuring ride for beginner kayakers, fishing enthusiasts, bird watchers and photographers.”

Poly construction. Rudder. 2 hatches with bulkheads and watertight covers. Paddle included.

Wonderful idea!

Once I have some time I’ll find one….or 20! 🙂

Hello fellow paddlers!

You should have got a reminder this morning of the coming club Xmas party. For this year I would like to put together a photo presentation (and maybe include some quick video clips) of your best photos from this year’s activities.

Of course you will have photos on the water, but any club events are welcome too. If you have images or video to submit, please email me directly allan.edwin@gmail.com and I will send you a link to a folder you can upload to. I’d like for this to be a surprise, so there will not be a giant shared folder for everyone. Same rules as for gifts: No Peeking!

With your images, please include – who/when/where, because I know there will be plenty of “omigosh wow! who/where/when was that!?” reactions.

Have a good time going through your archives. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

It looks it’s going to be George, Ted, Vincent and Martin and friend, with Theresa a maybe at this point.

We’ll start at Stearman Beach near Caulfield in West Vancouver. Google Maps will take you there. Let’s aim to be on the water at 10:30 – plan your arrival time based on how long it will take you to get organized once you’re there. The plan is to paddle around Point Atkinson and further on towards Whytecliff and then back. I expect we’ll paddle for two or three hours (four at the most) with a lunch stop somewhere in the middle. The forecast is for relatively strong winds earlier in the morning and again in the evening but it’s supposed to be relatively calm in the middle of the day when we’ll be paddling.

Send me (George) an email (georgepr@telus.net) or a text (778-235-9242) if you’d like to join us.

Congratulations George! I’m sure you’re jumping out of your skin to get your new boat in the water for a proper paddle.

My weekend is already booked, so I won’t be able to come along. I’ll be waiting for the pics.

Cheers!

[George Prevost]

I just got a new boat and am eager to try it out.  I’m planning to launch at Caulfield Cove at around 10:00 a.m. on Sunday and paddle around Point Atkinson (Lighthouse Park) and then further along the West Vancouver shore toward Whytecliff Park before returning to the put-in.  If conditions permit I might venture out to Passage Island, too.  Total paddling time will be two or three hours and there will be a stop for lunch somewhere along the way.

If you’re interested I can be flexible about starting time and even location.  Another alternative would be to start at Jericho and paddle around Point Grey to Wreck Beach and beyond.

Send me an email (georgepr@telus.net) or a text (778-235-9242) if you’d like to join me.

Hello, Nick,

Thanks, Heather!  I stopped for lunch. Grassy area in front of the cabin. Slippery rocks and mostly rocky landing, near the cabin. Did not explore the island or see an outhouse near the cabin. I believe that day visits were ok; overnights not encouraged or allowed, as it was a private island. I may be corrected on this point.

Good addition to the park. Thank you provincial government!

[Nick Heath]

Thks Heather.

When you say you can’t camp there, do you mean that there are no suitable sites for tents or hammocks?

[Heather Harbord]

I don’t remember a toilet on the island and you can’t camp on it.  Monty Drake, who is a SKABC member, did a currents course in that area recently. He may be able to give you more details.He lives in Powell River as I do.  I think the landing is pretty rocky and in wet weather the rocks are slippery. A steady stream of yachts drop passengers off to tour the “museum”.
