Description
This is an excellent paddling boat in excellent condition, which you can take on day outings for long excursions. Selling a 17’ long 22” wide fiberglass Ellesmere sea kayak manufactured by Boreal Designs of Canada (excellent workmanship). It has a yellow deck, white hull so the scratches are almost invisible and is equipped with a working skeg, operated with a dial which I find gives you a more precise measure of the amount of skeg being employed. There is one large oval hatch in the stern and an 8" hatch in the bow, both with a bulkhead. Hatch covers are in excellent ship. The weight about 52lbs. The hull is designed with greenland hard chines matted with a semi-arched bottom instead of the traditional V bottom. This gives the hull speed and maneuverability along with a greater sense of stability. The stability feels more like a wider boat than the listed 22 inches wide. The kayak also features a molded paddle rest in front of the cockpit. See the comments in Gear & Reviews at Ellesmere Reviews - Boreal Design | Buyers' Guide | Paddling.com
