Today, Mrs D and I paid a visit to Marsport at Reading to find out if they had any half-way decent, used kayaks for sale. Apparently it's the wrong time of year for that as everyone's out practicing for the DW race, and they need their boats. Still, we had a good look round and on display was a Hobby II, a rather neat looking semi racing Kayak in a beguiling shade of mettalic silvery-grey.
To cut a long story short, I placed a down payment to reserve a build slot for a new one. That also gives me an invitation to go try out a couple of their models to see how well I fit, and place an order. At the moment it's a decision between the Hobby, and another rather similar machine, a Laance. (Yes, Laance). The time slot by the way is Febuary.
It rather looks then as though I'm now going to have to find a club to get a bit of practice in before I have to give it a try.
