Tyne Short Double 15' double seater - Ref 050JA
British Granta Sports Tourer double seater- Ref 094JC
A well looked after and maintained 17ft long kayak. Skin in excellent pliable condition.
This is one of the best Granta's skins that we have ever encountered with hardly any marks on the hull. Most of the frame parts are all well preserved apart from one cross rib that has delaminated and another cross rib being fractured and crudely repaired. We assembled the boat without a problem.
Excellent collector's item. Includes a 1965 Thames Conservancy License
Includes two wooden split paddles
Current condition (Any issues can be repaired / rectified by ourselves if required at extra cost):-
Notes on frame - Fair to good. One cross rib has delaminated completely - held together with cable ties. The frame pieces had been coated with Linseed oil by the previous owner. Few minor repairs needed, nothing major. Some rubber pole stringer seats on the cross ribs have perished or are missing and needs replacing.
Notes on skin - Very good. Still supple despite its age. There are some minor tears in the canvas which can be repaired
Steering system - None
Spray deck cover - None
Kayak carry bags - Only one long original bag available, in good condition. Will need another bag for the kayak's skin and cross ribs
Other -
Price - £750
Tyne Short Double 15' double seater- Ref 050JA
A rare very well looked after and maintained kayak. Complete with the two original TYNE issued canvas bags with the kayak's serial number (154866). Skin in excellent pliable condition. The kayak has always been stored inside the owner's house. A sale due to recent passing of the owner. The kayak was possibly last used in 2011 as there is an EA license sticker for the 2011 season.
This is one of the best Tynes that we have ever encountered - the boat was a joy to assemble with no issues.
All frame parts are all well preserved with the varnish all in very good nick. The cross ribs have been re-varnished to a darker colour whilst the rest of the frame parts all appear to be the original.
Includes two immaculate Shafer "Saar" wooden split paddles
Current condition (Any issues can be repaired / rectified by ourselves if required):-
Notes on frame - Excellent
Notes on skin - Reasonbably good. The hull has been reinforced with extra wide keel strips. Just need some glueing to some edges
Steering system - None
Spray deck cover - None
Kayak carry bags - Two standard canvas bags. Needs care to prevent some minor holes from getting bigger
Other -
Price - £800.00
LFB Stern WZ 60
double seater with sail rig - Ref 023IM - SOLD
Kayak with spray deck, steering system, and upwind sail rig with Lee Boards. A very rare combination for a kayak in very good condition and of a brand and model not often seen in this country. All items made by LFB Stern, Leipzig. Also includes original sales documentation that came with the kayak
Sail rig is complete with a Gaff, Jib and Lee boards with bridge - masts, sheets, etc - all ready to go sailing. Included is a rudder with rudder pedals.
Current condition (Any issues can be repaired / rectified by ourselves if required):-
Notes on frame - Very good condition
Notes on skin - Hull - Very good, no scrape marks. Is tainted with discolouration on hull bottom. Deck - there is a 20p sized round hole and some very small "pin prick" holes in the canvas on the rear deck, as if some corrosive substance had splashed onto the boat. The round hole can be "temporarily" repaired with an adhesive patch (or sewn on) and the pin pricks safely be left alone. Alternatively the whole rear deck canvas can be replaced. All sewing type of repairs will be at extra cost and is not included in the sale price.
Steering system - Complete with rudder and rudder pedals
Spray deck cover - Good, unused

Price - £800.00
Klepper Aerius II 520 double seater - Ref 033SM
Complete with frame, skin, and steering system. A mix of old and new - previous owner replaced the original wooden back rests with newer version rubber backrests, newer rudder pedals and a newer rear wider keel board frame. The kayak skin is also a replacement skin being newer than the original frame - this replacement skin was purchased from Klepper many years ago and appears to be custom made on request as it has a rare open style paddle blade pockets and canvas strap paddle shaft holders on the rear deck only - as if the owner wanted to customise his boat for solo sailing. The seat bottoms have also been "modified" with home made canvas covered cushions (stiff HD foam inner). This kayak came with sail rigs - to be sold separately.
Includes full steering system - rudder and pedals. As expected with age, we will replace the steering cables with new wire or paracord.
The kayak has been carefully stored fully assembled and covered in a dry boat club boat shed, next to a lake. Last usage was possibly about 10 years ago
Current condition (Any issues can be repaired / rectified by ourselves if required):-
Notes on frame - Good to fair condition. Some frame pieces ideally needs revarnishing. . All pole rubbers are as new

Klepper Aerius II 520 double seater - Ref 020CL
Complete with frame and skin. Includes spray deck and steering system. Overall, this kayak is in very good condition and comes with well made "Four Seasons" kayak bags that were replaced the original bags a few years ago. As often happens with certain manufactured pole rubber seats with age, some have perished and so all seats will be replaced with new ones. The End Post had snapped in half and was loosely "repaired" by the previous owner with steel plates - this frame part, we will replace with a good condition used spare. The previous owner had made some padding and covers for the back rests and had glued some High Density CC foam onto the wooden backrest. This padding is difficult to remove, so this will be left as is, as home made new or used covers is the best and easiest solution. One of the home made back rest covers has a tear - unusable. The previous owner also made a repair to the stern central keel board panelling with an extra pieces of plywood on both sides - this appears to be be good.
Spray deck is of the single piece type, with integrated waistskirts. The spray deck
is attached to the cockpit coaming with clips.
Includes full steering system - rudder and pedals. As expected with age, we will replace the steering cables with new wire.
