EEL Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 You never know what will show up on Craigslist. I believe this was the first kayaks designed by Derek Hutchinson or nearly so, and the boat he used for the first unsupported crossing of the North Sea. Later built and sold by P&H. Almost worth buying just to see what it is like on the water. In any event remarkable one is about being used and for sale. https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/freeport-sea-kayak-explorer-ph/7534114041.html Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterB Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I remember this boat at New England Small Craft in Rowley back around 2005 . I was told that the traditional Baidarka was designed as a fishing & hunting vessel, paddled out weighted with rocks, paddled home weighted with catch replacing the rocks ; I don't know if the modern design retains these traditional characteristics , if so the boat might have some distinct handing features.

Cath Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's also listed on the MITA site and at least one Facebook site. Pretty cool. I have a few friends who have found kayaks on the MITA site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
