Here is a bit of info about who owns what. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confluence_Outdoor
I often use spares from one company for another companies boats as, not surprisingly they have many parts in common.
In the UK some of those brands are "controlled" by Palm and some by Gaybo.

I have the Peak Adventure with the shoulder entry and find it works really well. very comfortable and the peak material is very hard wearing. Yes I get a wee bit damp just around the neck but its worth it. great value for money and Peak have a great repair service in the UK.

Hi Steve,
I have a demo Kokopelli Nirvana in Aberfeldy Steve if you would like to give it a try. I am also retired so can meet during the week. Not sure how long I will have the demo for.

The Etain 17.5RM and Sirona 16.1 RM are supposed to be the same fit and I have found that is the case. I find the 16.1Rm stable and very manoeuverable.
It is a slightly bigger fit than the Atlantic RM.

Valley Gemini RM which is smaller than the Sirona 16.1 RM and would suit your size.

Hi Simon, its in Aberfeldy, its £950 Its in good condition and includes the carrying rucksack and original german instructions. Yes its 12 ft 6 inches It has been kept erected inside.
I will get some photos. Where are you ?

The Klepper Aerius 2000 I am selling is a folding kayak if that is of any interest.

In good condition. Comes with rucksack carrying bag. In Aberfeldy.
Only £950

Yes the Etain 17.5 Rm has a bit more room than the Atlantic RM . Enough to make all the difference to the comfort as I am 90kg and 6 ft The 17.7 is quite a lot bigger. Sea Kayak Oban usually have the Atlantic & Etain 17 in stock so if you are in that part of the UK you can always sit in them both to...

cuts out the wholesalers’ costs and means that your money goes to the fund rather than to cooperate profit . I think you will find that some of this "cooperate profit " was returned to help pay in small part for this new edition just look at the Ads and other contributions. So what comes around som...

What ever you get for the sea I would make sure it has a skeg or rudder to help when you have any wind at all . The perception expression has one and the carolina doesnt. The new Wavesport Hydra may well suit your size and it comes from the same factory as the Perception.

I think it may be a bit small, but definitely worth a try both for fit and also in some lumpy water to see if the handling suits you.

You get the seats with leg lifters in Wavesport and Perception Sea Kayaks and these can be bought via your local dealer. Tahe/Zegul also produced a seat with leg lifters.

Sea Kayak Oban have a Valley Sirona 15.10 which has replaced the Avocet LV.
The Sirona 15.10 is a small boat.

You could also try the P&H Cetus LV which weighs about 22.5 kg for standard construction or the Northshore Atlantic LV or the Valley Sirona 16.1 . I do wear bibs & a Cag most of the time and try not to go in the water. If I am playing at the Falls of Lora I would use a paddlesuit (ie with a neoprene...

Sea kayak Oban have the Hydra and the Sirona available to demo . They are very different in both fit and performance.

Composite sea kayaks especially are getting lighter and lighter. I would definitely pay the extra to get a boat that I can easily carry whether its a river boat or a sea kayak.

If it's of any help in arguing the case in the future Pam the reason I set up my businesses in Scotland was because there is good access to both land and water. Having the option of being anywhere in the UK 16yrs ago it seemed a no brainer to come here, I did look around the whole of the UK. Well ti...

es of course it is. If I have a garden with my house and I want charge folks to come sit in it or walk through it, I can. If you ain't paying, you ain't sitting. That may work in some countries where there is a lot of government owned land but in the UK where the vast majority is privately owned it...

Pam Bell does

To charge for access to/use of private land is legitimate

mean that you think its legitimate to charge people for walking across the land? or am I misreading this or taking it out of context?

Excellent work . Sad to say there appears to be quite a few of the dam controlled rivers that dont have SEPA Gauges such as the River Awe and the Tummel above the Linn of Tummel. We asked SEPA about this years ago and they said they couldnt see a need because they were Dam controlled so they know ho...
