Kayak List

With so many boats on the market it's really difficult to decide where to start, but being of a facts and figures type mind I decided it would be better to analyse the options before wasting time testing. So on a wet November evening I draw up a spreadsheet with all of the specs of the main kayak brands available in the UK. Here's the sheet if you find any mistakes or admissions let me know.
