Arran Kayak Club members are in a buoyant mood with the purchase of three new kayaks for the club and they hope to purchase three more before summer.
Testing the new kayaks at the club’s winter facilities at the Auchrannie swimming pool, members were delighted that there would be more kayaks for members and visitors to make use of.
The excitement of receiving the new quality kayaks was barely containable for some and when they were presented to club members they took the opportunity to immediately put them to the test, still with their wrapping on. Buoyancy Club members then checked their buoyancy with all paddlers climbing on top of them. It was possible, just, to submerge the smaller Northshore Atlantic but the larger Valley Jura boats remained afl oat.
