Summary

The Arran Kayak Club are looking to buy a new kayak which would be more suited to a small adult or child.

Description

At present the Arran Kayak Club have a number of kayaks generally better suited to adults or larger children.  We have a couple suitable for smaller adults, and would like to invest in another one of a smaller size and weight to further include the younger members of the club and furthering the appeal of the Club to the island community. 

The Club has been running the Holy Isle Challenge for a couple of years now with the amazing Otter's Tail.  This year an incredible 66 paddlers (using sea kayaks, tourers, surf skis, paddleboards), from around the island, and across Britain and Europe took part ranging from a 10 year old in a double to a partially sighter prone competitor on a paddleboard.  The community event raisied nearly £700.  However a new North Shore Atlantic kayak is £1614, so the Club would look to use the money raised from the event with the £1000 from this participatory round to achieve our aims.

North Shore Atlantic LV - £1614.00


Location: Arran Kayak Club - this is a small not-for-profit kayak club open to everyone of all ages whilst removing some financial constraints making the sport more initially attainable.
