    Description

    Selling my Feathercraft Khatsalano collapsible kayak.  Used condition but in great shape.  I'm only selling as I don't have the opportunity to paddle it as often as this kayak deserves.
    The minimal rocker and the narrow length make this greenland style kayak great for calm seas, lakes, and the broad flowing rivers, and it's super fast. The seat and cockpit are super comfortable and have contributed to this being my preferred kayak of the last many years. Front and rear hatches allow for gear for overnighters and expedition trips.
    It's in seaworthy condition, and I just collapsed it recently to ensure everything is in fully functional condition, and treated all the joints of the poles with a fresh application of Boesheild, Boeing's anti-oxidizer solution. The skin is Feathercraft's super durable duratek material I believe, and the teal deck is ballistic nylon (which dates the kayak in the late 90s). Since I've owned it, for the last 8 years I've been smearing mink oil on the deck every other year to keep up the water proofing and it has worked great and has caused no issues. The teal material is 99.9% waterproof when treated this way; the hull material is inherently 100% waterproof and requires no treatment.  The inflatable side sponsons are Feathercraft's latest design and quality as I purchased them new 8 years ago; they help bring taughtness to the skin and are a great safety feature. It's only ever been garage stored, and I've never taken it in salt water. There are two tiny patches above the water line, port side from when I stupidly bumped the boat into rough metal... fortunately folding kayaks are super durable and a simple repair job had it functioning as new. It is compatible with a rudder (NOT included) I prefer to lean and turn and the kayak has nice hard chines for it.
