Newt How do you go about making your own and getting it put up thanks [ 13. May 2005, 07:19 PM: Message edited by: ***oLLy*** ]

John who's Avatar??? Simon only been on windermere, not on water all day but in and out, i remember reading somwhere that if you are on the large size it could distort centre hatch.(im not saying im a bloater though.Ok not far off) Marvin ill get some stands an do what you suggest the handles the wifes has 4 per handle so it cant twist much better.

How much water in hull is normal I usually end up with at a guess about 2 pints checked for faults in moulding but seems ok i have noticed a few drops in small round hatch.wife has same yak so will be able to compare next time out. Also to P13 owners how many fixings in your handles mine has 2 but wifes has 4.

Hi. All Wondered where everyone had gone,thought everybody had hung their yaks up, only been checking sea angling forum updated my links now. good to have yak forum now, thanks A.N. Wifes gone and bought prowler 13 she got a OK frenzy first but didnt like it so changed it for P13 instead got it from gorlston marine norfolk good to deal with and they do free delivery.

Thanks for the offer Sanctuary, all us yakkers aways have a couple of tins of Spinach stowed away for Emergencies. Dont think i'll be going out big tides, not been out on sea yet or moving water for that matter so if you see someone on a yak passing you going backwards arms flailing its me.

Might be a bit tricky the people who I got the Mambo from told me to go to stand with the ainsworth paddles on and pick one to suit me because he was getting a supply of paddles from them so he supplied the size I told him, the size they told me complicated isnt it, and know they didnt measure me just looked at me and said im never far out.You just take it for granted sometimes being in the trade they should know. olly

Hi yy Fibreglass olly

Hi YY It felt like it could do with being longer, I told them it was for SOT as well, do you know how much a splice will be?

Hi all Having had a paddle now I feel the paddle might be a bit short I was advised to go for 205cm on the Ainsworth stand at the NEC,Has any body got any views on this? olly

My son with his Banana boat

And a fishing pic (dont tell anybody but the waters only 3 feet deep)

Bit of water comes up through front scupper other wise quite dry got to get some plugs

Hi all Back from NEC a few sit ons about no prowlers unless I missed them quite a intersting and varied show only angler version yak was a RTM tango looked a bit cramped though,managed to get kitted out: Yak L/John, rash vest and cheap Cag,got my son a RTM mambo plan to spend a bit of time in the lakes. Thanks simon for advice on paddles got a couple of ainsworth one to start with they do seem stiff only down side is they dont have drip rings is it possible too fit them or do they have to be done when they are made.Too many paddles for a noob to choose from and diferent opinions, will see how these go I paid £50 for mine and £30 for lads. olly
