Yippee!

I also now own a Dirigo 17 kayak.

I've been passing by this auction house in Minot, Maine several times a week, so recently I finally stopped into inquire about the Dirigo kayak they had (also an excuse to examine it). Turns out it was going up on the auction block two days later.

So after reading up about this kayak (mainly on your forum), I decided to attend the auction and bid on it.

It was part of an estate auction, so most of the bidders I assume didn't know much about this kayak, or have any interest in it.

Anyhow I was the high bidder. It included the rudder, and both hatches.It's currently in my basement, here in the State of Maine. I'll probably do some work on it over the winter, so that it's ready for the spring.

I'm definitely looking forward to the spring!
