I am looking to purchase a high level glass fibre kayak as I find it more dificult to get into a low level boat these days.

I would prefer a Gaybo Olymp 4. 5 or 6.

Anone got one in good condition hanging up in their garage/shed they want to get rid of

You could try one of the Double Dutch XXX designed by Mark Broadhurst, its performance is very good and the wider cockpit and high front deck make it easy to get into, contact me on 07979 816550 and I will give you Marks details he has a few of them in stock.

Showing me age - but not as much as the photos of the boat. If memory serves me correctly the TS was a derivative of the Olymp 5 ends look to pointy for the 4 although I preferred the 6.

Aah Olympic 6 - my second ever boat!

Learned to 'shuttle' gates in that before parting with it. Anyone under 30 know what a shuttle is/was?
