Sea Kayak "icefloe" For Offshore Voyaging

Icefloe is a fibreglass kayak and was designed for voyaging in offshore waters by Derek Hutchinson. In his book "The Complete Book of Sea Kayaking" he describes it thus"I designed the Ice-Floe as a fast, long range, large volume deep sea expedition kayak, capable of withstanding the severe storm storm conditions which can be found on the open ocean.I used the stable mid-section of the Umnak (one of his earlier designs) and coupled it with an almost straight keel and a specially moulded stern to hold the boat on track in quartering seas" Pleas note this is not a fishing kayak but an offshore voyaging sea kayak. It is a SINK or sit inside kayak and the paddler uses a spray skirt. I had considered modifying it to be a fishing kayak but decided that drilling holes etc would be a criminal act on such a lovely kayak It is a large internal volume kayak (330l) and according to my research is suitable for large and heavy paddlers. However the neoprene spray skirt is suitable for a smaller or skinny person and if the purchaser is large would need to sew up a spray skirt out of waterproof material.

It was imported from the UK hence the neoprene for colder waters.Condition is very good and has minor abrasions commensurate with age, notably a small missing piece of gel coat on one end immediately under the coaming. I have attempted to illustrate that in one of the photosNew material for the hatches are required though the ss rings that secure the material are present.You are welcome to inspect before prchasing
