Cool Derwentwater

Well its been ages since I was out doing paddling,  we have just received the new Clearwater Kawartha in stock, plus no-one has demoed it yet, and it wasn't too cold on Sunday....

So I went paddling!

There was a bit of icebreaking to be done!

and it was a bit misty/murky

but it was good to get out.
Met up with a pair in a plastic canoe too, and we went for a paddle up the Derwent. Managed to keep up successfully in the Kawartha, and tried out a couple of paddles, and the pole.
The Kawartha tracked well with any of them, but stood up paddling needs a bit more balance than me at the moment! Solid outfittings and light to carry (compared to most Plastic canoes) the boat will be a good seller especially to lake paddlers. at 15ft 6 it is eay to transport and carry around.

We managed to get up to the footbridge and beyond for a break. I returned to the car still dry, and got home for 2pm! its great having local lakes, plus the car park was not full!!

Same location this Sunday, this time its my Novacraft Cronje all set up for sailing! (no wind forecast but still...)

PS we now have a demo Kawartha 156 in stock at Carlisle ready for you to try out!
