As above. For use on an expedition so ideally with either a drop seat or hinged waist.

Thanks

For your weight it will be too big unless fully loaded.
There's a North Shore Atlantic for sale on Facebook Used kayaks

or a very nice looking Tiderace Xplore MV on the for sale page on here.

Pete who now owns Mega used to be a partner in kayakingkit.com and imported Tahe and Zegul boats. I bought both a Tahe Greenland T and later a Zegul Greenland GT from them. Both great boats. Re the Viking I have one and do like it. Glynn Brackenbury used one for his Lands End John O'Groats trip. Min...

All boats now sold

Both now sold

Just the Orange/Red Small Stratos left now £500

Paddles are just simple Carlisle 1 piece alloy shaft sea paddles. I was happy to pretty much give them away with the boats as postage would be quite expensive.

Oops. I'm in Cheddar, Somerset

2x Dagger Stratos (small) 1x Orange/Red used 3 times, usual superficial scratches from launching -- £550 1x Red pretty well used but in very good condition, usual scratches but nothing deep. £400 I also have spray decks, paddles and helmets if anyone wants a bundle to get started. https://media.ukri...

Thanks but we're sorted. Sorry for not updating.

Just the two small Stratos left now.

Not paddled the 16 Cruiser but I own a 16x and love it. I replaced the standard seat for an Aries one which also lowered the centre of gravity and added a little stability. It's a fast boat, great for long distance or multi day trips, but also manoeuvrable enough for day trips. Great in rough water,...

Don't rule out the Taran 16 or Epic 16x. In the real world they are just as fast as the 18s as less drag, more manoeuvrable too so still good day boats as long as you don't want to go rockhopping in the case of the Epic.

Preferably composite but willing to look at plastic as well.

Based in Somerset but will travel a reasonable distance.

Bit of a long shot I know, but does anybody have one they are willing to sell? I'm in Somerset but willing to travel within reason.

Join the "racing canoe clubs 'sales and wants'" facebook page and post a wanted ad. I did this 2 weeks ago when I was after a surfski and had a reply with exactly what I wanted within 30 minutes! Maybe also contact www.racepace.com as they had a new "old stock" Knysna Genius RS1 which is their most ...

Don't take any notice of the 58cm width. That is simply across the deck at it widest point. It's more like 52/53 at the waterline as it curves in very quickly. Initially I found it a little unstable, but my other main boat is a Sirona. Once I got used to it I've found it fine, maybe moderate initial...

I've got a Sirona RM and it is my "go to boat" for rockhopping and surf play. I used to have a Zegul Greenland GT which was great and very manoeuvrable but not particularly tough and so not ideal for your use. Unless you get the top spec Arrow Play you'll be in the same situation. Valley do the Siro...

I've got the Epic 16x and love it. I paddle it with two friends who both have the Taran 16 and they love theirs. Performance wise there's nothing between them. We also have Flat Earth Sails and these boats are really easy to sail with the rudders. The Epic has loads of storage space and a large cock...

Expedition Kayaks in Australia now manufacture and sell Flat Earth Sails. I bought mine direct from them, they will also value the package "appropriately" if you ask them. Early last year mine came in at about £300 for the full set.

I've got a number of boats set up for sailing, 2 are skeg only and two are rudder only. For sailing the rudder is way better than a skeg, and a lot less work. I've not used a scudder but Douglas Wilcox wrote a very comprehensive review of the mk2 Scorpio with scudder and sail. https://seakayakphoto....

I'm 5'10 and 185lbs My son is 6'1 and 190 and he fits fine as well. I carry my weight high which is why lowering the seat was good for me.

Where are you? I've got a Sirona in Somerset you're welcome to try. I also have an Xcite and fit that. I paddle the Sirona a lot more!! I've also got an Aquanaut LV and have paddled an Etain 17.5 and fit all perfectly. I did lower the seat in the Sirona, not for fit, but to lower the centre of gravi...

If you're in Pembrokeshire join the Sea Kayak Cymru facebook page. They're a very active group and a lot of the boats mentioned are owned by members who I'm sure will be only too happy to help, advise and let you try boats.

I've got both L and S Stratos and a Sirona 16.1 (mv) a friend of mine used the Sirona for a week and then bought the LV 15.10 version and loves it.
As for me, much as I like the Stratos I never paddle them now, I'm always in the Sirona

Have a look on Aliexpress for diving lights. I've bought both plastic and metal ones and funnily enough they bear a remarkable resemblance to expensive ones here. £10 will be more than enough for what you want.

I use Viewranger for maps and think i paid about £50 for full 1:50 OS maps. For charts I use Navionics Uk and Ireland which was free! Just remember to put your phone on flight mode so it's not spending all day searching for a signal, wifi and bluetooth devices.
