Selling my Scorpio, it spent last summer in its shed and I can't see myself getting out in it again anytime soon. I great condition, deck lines replaced, and all seems to be working well. It has a couple of spray decks, one of which I use for storage and transport (pictured). Small mark on underside, but other than that it's like new.
£1000 with spray decks, and boat stands.
I've got a pile of other kayaking stuff I think I'll move on in another post (Geenland paddles, drysuit, kayak trolley, Thule roof mounts)

When I rinsed my towline recently it was to find the elasticated shock cord had come unattached, and was free in the bag,
Now I can’t work out how it should be fixed to both bag and line so I’m hoping someone with the same towline will kindly explain, or - better still - respond with a photograph.
Many thanks

I'm contemplating a possible trip to Mull over the next couple of weeks - can anyone provide an update on the current situation at Ulva Ferry, regarding parking (for a couple of days probably) and the general vibe of the place? It's possible that I might be about during the BH weekend so I guess it might be busy if so, though I'm hoping some of the madness of the last couple of post-pandemic summers will have gone away by now.
I've read the previous threads, but thought I'd start a new one rather than bump the most recent as that one was a bit erm.. poo-centric. (And started with a photo I ca ..read more

Normal scratches from light use, the "kayaksport adjustable ferrule" is in excellent condition. This is the feature that allows you to change to length from 210 to 220 cms which is great for when you are changing from, for example, a bit of surf to long distance paddling. It also allows you to finely adjust the feather. I've put a link with the manafacturer's description. I will send photos to anyone who is interested. I like VE paddles because they don't loose rigidity in the shaft. I am selling this for a friend who has given up paddling for mountain biking. The new price is £425 so I'd look ..read more

Maybe you're Olympus Tough Camera has died but you still have the cable? I've lost mine and am not confident the ones for £3 on ebay will actually do the job. So thought it worth asking here first.

ridiculous, appalling and disgraceful are just some of the words i would like to use here against fellow water users.....over the last few days have paddled the Leven from the standard get in on river right just below Newby Bridge....have cleared away today womans knickers attached to a tree, a buoy from the side of a raft, coke cans and general ragged ends and wrappers....if we all want to keep using this get in without hassle and issues then STOP acting in a SELFISH IGNORANT WAY....and take away your rubbish!!

Made by CS Canoa in Italy.
5.85m long, 55cms wide.
This is a large kayak designed to carry the kitchen sink and a large paddler.
The kayak has had a small gel coat repair at the rear but otherwise it is in very good condition, all hatches and covers are watertight.
This boat is also on FB where i have managed to put more photos.
Sadly I thought I had a buyer but it was not to be and so the kayak is up for sale again.
