I am the original owner of the aforementioned items and the kayak, paddle, paddle lanyard, cockpit cover, and sprayskirt were stored under protection or in a smoke-free house when not in use, respectively.  I bought this kayak as new and unused from a retail kayak dealer on Hilton Head Island; the kayak was intended for use as a demo (as inscribed on the kayak), but the watercraft never left their warehouse until my elated purchase.  Overall, the kayak operated superbly and was smooth, fast (if needed), and agile on various waters.  Reason for Auction:  I plan to relocate from the Atlantic coastline to the mountains and, thus, I do require these items.
Auction Contents:  Perception Carolina 14.5 Day Touring kayak, Harmony cockpit cover, Pacific Designs T-1 paddle, Suffolk Kayak Supply paddle lanyard with retail package, and Harmony Elite Touring sprayskirt with retail tags.
