Hi Sandra,

I am interested in your Solander but wonder if you can tell me the weight. I have a fibreglass solander but would like to get a kevlar one to reduce the weight. However I suspect that a sectional boat will have added wright. My friend had a sectional fibreglass solander and it was much heavier than my regular one.

I cannot get into Facebook anymore so have not see the pictures. What colour is your boat?

I have paddled solanders for many many years and it is the boat for me! I would not buy anything else!

look forward to hearing from you.

Posting for a friend:

This beautiful and solid Kevlar nimbus solander has been an amazing ride for me, but I need to let her go. This was a specially made kayak by nimbus that can be taken apart into three pieces. I’ve never taken it apart, but if you needed to be able to do that for storage or transportation you can with this one! I paid $2,000 for it a few years ago and put $400 worth of work into it with a new seat, new deck lines, and new hatch covers. But I’m offering it for a lower price because I need a quick sale.

Afternoon Calvin,

This is William Swenson, I recently joined the SKABC. I am interested in volunteering but am unsure if I have the right qualifications to help. I have taken SKILS Assistant Overnight Guide Course but do not have my Wilderness First Aid or VHF Radio Course yet to be fully certified. I was wondering what you are looking for out of a volunteer? I am more than happy to sign up for all 3 shifts even if it’s only helping on shore. I have my own kayak and safety gear. This will be my first time meeting with the SKABC so I’m hoping to use it as an opportunity to meet other members as well as helping out the community.

Hi Jennifer.  I have friends who own and run Strathcona Park Lodge Outdoor Education Centre on Vancouver Island.  They have three Nootkas already and are somewhat interested in adding another to their fleet.  They’d like me to have a look at the one you’re selling if that’s possible.  It would be great if you could contact me by email at georgepr@telus.net so we can figure out how to have a viewing, etc.

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.

Hi Katya – sorry for the slow response – We unfortunately wont arrive back to Vancouver until late the 30th (Limited ferries times) so will likely not work to borrow your boat – I think I have another secured and VERY much appreciate you being willing to lend it – if you ever are in need of the Passat for a longer trip please get in touch. Thanks again for your extremely kind generosity!!

hi Tracey,

For some reason my email won’t send to you today. I have been thinking about the skeg and have decided to keep looking for a Kayak with a rudder.

Would you be interested in selling the Greenland paddle separately?

Thanks,

Lindi

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.
