Default Kayak shortening?

Dear All,

I have recently acquired 2 fibreglass kayaks.

I know it could be quite time consuming but it seems a shame not to
make use of kayaks that would otherwise have been destined for
landfill!

Any advice gratefully received!


I'm guessing that the boats are probably quite old. I'm afraid that my
advice would be to bin them. In my experience, any old glassfibre boats
will generate such horrible fibreglass rash when you try to use them
that you'll hate them immediately.

I'd suggest getting a plastic boat from the classified adverts in your
local paper...
