Anas Acuta for sale
Excellent condition, little used as it was bought from Valley as a second "day" boat and for use by the family when they visit. Antique ivory coloured hull and deck, day hatch, retractable skeg, reinforced keel, electric pump fitted and comes with both spray deck and cockpit cover.
The Anas is a beautiful and graceful kayak (probably the closest design of modern kayaks to the Inuit kayak from Greenland). It handles like a dream, fast with good secondary stability, surfing a following sea easily and amazingly dry for such a fine bow. Paddling into a steep sea the hard chine shoots the water out sideways, not over you. Great when you are paddling beside someone who has upset you!
A new Anas would cost you around £1,900, this is a bargain at £1,100.
Located just south of Berwick-upon-Tweed opposite Holy Island. Willing to deliver or meet locally or within a reasonable distance.

The closest descendant to the original skin boat and the closest experience to paddling a genuine Greenland kayak. Several thousand years of evolution led to this design of kayak: narrow, low, hard chined with graceful bow and stern profiles. When people say traditional sea kayak, this is what most people think of.
