Prijon sea kayak

I spent a lot of time in Long Island Sound (off New Rochelle) in this kayak in the summer of 2005. Since I got into sailing and moved to Manhattan, it hasn't been getting much use. I have a Balogh Sail Designs sail and outrigger setup that I purchased for this kayak, but it has never been installed. I am thinking of selling the kayak and sail setup so contact me if you are interested. The kayak is about 17' and made out of kevlar. It probably weighs about 60lbs. It feels a little tender at first, but secondary stability is high, and it glides through the water very easly. I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner though.

This is my first sailboat and the one on which I learned the basics of sailing. It planes easily and is fast and fun, but it is cramped with more than one person, and it doesn't have a jib. Unfortunately, its not getting much use these days, because I can't afford to keep it near the water.
