subject: [Paddlewise] double kayaks in Australia
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2002 23:11:19 -0700
I've got some relatives down in Oz who are interested in buying a double 
kayak.  The local kayak shop only carries Current Designs plastic 
boats.  While here visiting on Vancouver Island we looked at a couple of 
Neckys and a Seaward, all of which where more impressive then either CD's 
plastic or composite boats.  The Necky's  are much narrower and I think 
longer as well - two features that appeal to my relatives.

My question is does anyone know of an Australian supplier of double 
kayaks?  They live in Adelaide - if that helps.

Thanks
Gordin warner

Hi Gordon

Mirage Sea Kayaks in Gosford north of Sydney make some really fast double
kayaks in fibreglass or kevlar. Check out their website at
http://www.mirageseakayaks.com.au

Cheers

Colin

Canoes Sports in Sydney Australia sells Necky plastic doubles as well as
CD doubles.  They also sell Australian designed Mirage doubles -
fibreglass.

Canoes Plus in Melbourne sells Perception and Dagger kayaks and
probably does sell fibreglass doubles made in Melbourne.  In Adelaide
Kayaks Plus is their best bet.  Not sure what they distribute but I am
sure could order from the other distributers.

Your relatives should go into the websites of these three companies
because they all sell a wide range of boats.

Hope this helps
