We have had this kayak since the mid-1970’s. It can be used for sailing or just as a normal sea-worthy kayak. It folds down to 3 canvas bags. We had a small motor on the back for several years prior to selling the motor. It is a large 2-man kayak with safety air pockets on each side. This type of kayak sailed across the Atlantic years ago. NB: We have not used this kayak for several years.
