Sea King Kayak (British?)

Advice
#1

Does anyone have any knowledge about an older design sea kayak called or made by Sea King? British I believe?

#2

British Forums
You may want to try asking on a British site such as http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/index.php

Restored Sea King
I found this piece the other day, but can’t find out anything on the hull (length-width- depth-rocker), it’s paddling characteristics or what contemporary boat it might be most like. Nor can I find anything about who manufactured it or when.

You gotta read the thread griffin posted
They were molds that were rented out, DIY jobs if you like. He actually got it looking pretty decent in the end, before he traded it for a WW boat.

rented molds
At one time, from what I’ve understood, kayaks were often built by clubs in the UK before production boats were common. So some might be pretty good and some might be downright awful.

Made in France - -
There’s a chap in France making them having acquired a mold recently. While getting one to the US may be challenging, at least you could get a sense of them on his website - http://www.patiras.com/kayaks.htm



Hope this helps. Mike.
