Double fiberglass sea kayak in great condition! Has been stored in garage.
This is an extremely stable and efficient kayak with rudder, sealed bulkheads, lots of packing space for touring and very generous leg room. Kayak handles very well even with just one person paddling. We used this boat to paddle much of the coast with our kids. Very similar to Seaward Passat.
Length – 22 feet. Width – 27 inches. Blue deck with very light grey hull.
Long narrow kayak, great for going fast and for rolling (I guess, I do not roll). I have gone touring for up to 8 days in it but that requires minimalism in your packing and willingness to pack your gear one by one into the very long narrow front hatch… (or if you’re smart you can get one of those dry bags in the cone shape, but I wasn’t).
It’s not a great boat for surfing since it’s straight and long. It has a skeg but I have not used it in a very long time, so if you rely a lot of a rudder for steering it might not be the boat for you. Also it has an ocean cockpit. Decent conditions, but the seat has some wear and tear. Comes with a greenland paddle and sprayskirt.
Priced to sell since I rarely paddle anymore, $500 OBO. Contact Tracey 604-399-9356/ traceypham88@gmail.com.
She is a beauty! Excellent condition! Carves a tight turn, rides following waves beautifully and tracks true and fast. Yes! She has a lighter Kevlar/carbon hull! Water tight Valley hatch covers. Extras include the deck mounted Ritchie compass, a very durable bang strip on the bottom of the hull, and new reflective 6mm and 5mm deck lines configured for paddle float reentries. Comes with a Seaward cockpit cover. Package also includes a lightly used adjustable Werner Camano paddle, lightly used MEC Fulcrum Guide PFD- medium- large unisex and new Seaward/Brooks- Sprayskirt, yellow handle. This kayak/gear package is ready to go on an expedition! $5150, contact us in Langley at 604 530 9679.
Hi
Earlier last month, I did the above trip , in addition to a smaller river paddle on the island.
The Na Pali coast one was exhilarating, generally described as the “Everest of Kayaking”.
Big swells and waves , wind too, but a lee wind practically all the way except when we had to head into the wind to negotiate some reefs.
The sun was intense and just sun screen :not enough, must be covered up well too.
We were warned, if after the first hour , any signs of seasickness.. to drop off ( the guides take you to a beach to be shuttled back}. There after, no road access for next 20 kms… only a rescue boat . Also warned , capsize likely, must be able to self rescue with guides aid.
The surf landing at the end was exciting, but fortunately no big rollers.
Some images here.
Cheers
