Found it used on craigslist for a good price. It’s a PaddleYak Swift Hybrid Double made in Cape Town, South Africa. I have done some internal foam additions, added perimeter lines, bungees, and removable backrests. It’s fiberglass, 19.5 feet long, and the weight is stated as 62 pounds/28kilos.
And then…. this happened. It’s gonna be our “cheater rolling boat” to continue learning Greenland skills, which we can then hopefully transfer to our sea kayaks. Now I just need to find a spray skirt for it!
Thank you, yeah, I’m considering spray skirt vs tuilik vs akuilisak…. It’s hard to know what to buy when one is a newb and has barely tried out the latter two.
