If anyone is interested, I'm selling my trusty kayak. Not because I want to, but since I'm leaving for Australia in a couple of months I need to lighten my load. So here's the sales pitch: SeaEagle 435 PaddleSki Inflatable, tough catamaran kayak that can carry two adults and a child easily (rated to 650lbs). Made of the same stuff as RIBs. Packs down small enough to sling in the back of the car, complete with two seats, bow bag, two paddles and pump. Great family fun on light wind days, you can paddle it or sail it (I made my own sailing rig) or even use a kite with it- needs two people for that though, one for the kite and the other to steer the boat. Very stable, almost impossible to capsize even in the waves, so you can use it as a platform for snorkelling or diving. Yes, I have dived from it with a buddy, plenty of space for all the gear and easy to get back on to from the water. It's in great condition, no punctures or damage, used less than 30 times in all. Bargain at 65,000 JPY, which is less than half of what I paid for it (I originally imported it from the US). I'll include the sailing rig if you want it. Cheers.
