Sea Kayak - Feathercraft K-Light - 13' - Pickup Only

Sea Kayak Feathercraft K-light 13' made in Canada by Doug Simpson Hatch Rudder Why the Low Price? The Feathercraft K-light is a folding kayak by design and typically sells for $2K or more. My son used this for 2 years and although I told him to disassemble it after use he didn't. He did rinse it out with fresh water and it was mostly used in lakes in NH and Lake Champlain. Caveat Emptor: So......I am selling this as though it is a non-folding kayak.

It is perfect for petite females or persons around 5'2" to 5'6" tall. It has a Feathercraft rudder + a hatch cover. There are no bulkheads on a folding kayak. The skin is in great condition. So......if you just want a non-folding top of the line kayak this is a bargain.

Or if you feel brave it should disassemble however my concern is that some of the Longerons may be frozen and could break during disassembly so you are buying it as a non-folding kayak. It may come apart fine but I decided not to risk it. Lastly, much to everyone's chagrin, Doug closed shop last year so it is more challenging to get parts although he is working out of his basement.

Most summers I went up to Yellowknife (NWT) or Whitehorse (Yukon) and worked as a prospector for small mineral exploration companies. We were looking for gold, copper, zinc, uranium, etc. We flew in small, single engine bush planes on floats and landed on small lakes. Frank Moyle, a Northern pioneer, was my partner at the time. Usually, we set up bush camps for a few weeks and prospected the area.

The idea of a small, light-weight boat that could be carried on our back seemed like a good one. He suggested an open canoe. I already liked kayaks. When I was only 7 or 8 years old, my family spent two summers staying in a cottage on a small island near Vancouver. The old lady next door had two small wood frame, canvas skin kayaks.

I got to paddle them around the bay. They were very light and responsive. This is one of my best memories.
