A vintage single-seat wooden kayak featuring a plywood hull and deck construction with solid hardwood coamings and trim. The vessel is designed with a narrow profile and decked-over bow and stern sections. The exterior deck is finished in a two-tone pale green and khaki paint, while the hull sides exhibit a decorative multi-coloured scheme consisting of dark green, red, and orange or yellow stripes. The interior cockpit area is painted black. The craft is supplied with a custom-built wooden storage and display cradle. Accompanying equipment includes two single-bladed wooden paddles with differing blade designs and a yellow waterproof storage or flotation bag containing various mooring ropes. A contemporary adhesive lot tag with barcodes and printed characters is attached to a rope on the bow; no original manufacturer plates or hull identification numbers are visible on the craft.
Overall length: approximately 4.5 – 5 metres.
Condition report:
The kayak is in fair vintage condition. There is visible surface wear throughout the vessel, including scuffs, scratches, and fading to the paintwork consistent with age and previous use. The wooden structure appears generally sound, though the item would benefit from a sympathetic restoration of the finish. Some minor surface cracking to the plywood is present. The craft is sold as seen and has not been tested for watertight integrity.
