Review: old olympic K1

Went out to the lake for some fitness paddling today, as I was leaving passed a car with a pair of really skinny kayaks on the roof. Made a U turn and followed them back to the lake. Got to paddle an Olympic K1 about 1970 vintage, stability level 4. I really want one :) Absolute blast to paddle, seriously fast for a 17 foot boat.

I might have a chance later on this fall to get the boat to take lines off, if so I'll make a stripper out of it :)
