Perception Kiwi 3 Tandem Recreational Touring Kayak Polyethylene Tracking Hull

Collection only. We've have owned the kayak for around 20 years. It has had limited use perhaps 10 weeks in total which is why it is still in great condition. Please see the photographs. Personal inspection is welcome and any sale will be through classifieds board.

Until the end of last year the kayak was stored in our garage out of the sun and the weather. Apart from one trip to Scotland (see photograph with our old Toyota Carina E estate) and a trip to North Wales both of less than a couple of weeks the kayak has been out of the garage for only a few hours at a time. The following is from the Perception website. Perception kayaks are built to last. Your guarantee of consistent and reliable quality comes from our use of the finest materials and the most up to date manufacturing techniques.

Perception hulls last longer because the Superlinear Polyethylene we use has exceptional levels of impact and abrasion resistance. They also perform better for longer because our material has excellent shape retention. Perception’s industry leading rotational moulding machines are custom built to suit our specific requirements for high quality production of our boats. They use purpose designed software to ensure optimum strength in the areas that are subjected to greatest wear and stress by controlling the positioning of material in minute detail. Our policy of development and investment in leading technology guarantees the continuation of these high standards into the future.

For consistent quality across our range from extreme white water kayaks to relaxed river tourers we use the same materials and manufacturing techniques for them all. Of course the better you look after your kayak, the longer it will last.. Kiwi 3 is a quick and agile recreational touring kayak for friends and families.You will find fun and confidence in this stable, predictable and user friendly tandem whether you are an experienced paddler or starting out. It has the same open feel as the Kiwi 2 with more speed and directional stability to give you scope to travel further afield on lakes and inland waterways. Plenty of legroom and spacious padded seats with cushioned backrests give real comfort on short excursions or all day trips. To allow you to trim the kayak for solo use and a variety of paddler combinations both seats adjust fore and aft.

A smaller family member can join in the fun when you add the optional High Back child seat. A dry bag for your day’s essentials is easily accommodated in the roomy stowage space behind the rear seat.
