As you can see no-one on this list has ever sold a boat in their lives (see the "My Boat" thread). Any true kayaker worth their salt will hang on to their first kayak until there is nothing but thin fibres left. At which time the well known "Ritual of the Parting of the Yak" will begin. This involves significant quantities of fermented spirits, no clothing, a great pile of ballast rocks and a spear gun. I don't wish to go into the details on this list due to the sensitivities of the subscribers.
