Description

Vintage Folbot tandem kayak, some folks used these for expeditions. It is long and fairly heavy, will take 2 people to get it on and off a car and  in and out of the water gracefully. Well used,  well maintained, needs  some TLC periodically. ( The skin is hypalon, and gets patched and sealed like a hypalon raft, with fabric and glue.)  Includes  the rudder system, a  sailing kit in good shape, with spreader, mast, sail, twin dagger boards,  two seat cushions, and  one sea kayak paddle.
The sailing kit is in it's original duffel. I do not have the duffel for the boat overall.  Sold  "set-up", and  you should plan on picking it up.
In answer to previous questions:
Age- unknown for sure, but  it has the design and materials of a Folbot made in the '60's thru the '70's. ( all wooden frame)
Yes, you do need the rudder to effectively steer the boat, it is a V-type sea kayak hull, designed to mostly go straight.
I have gotten quite a few inquiries as to whether I would sell the very desirable sailing kit separately, and the answer is maybe.  I'd prefer to see the whole boat and accessories together, but a real good offer  on the sailing kit might sway me. Located in Victor, Idaho.
Plan on picking it up.
