Hello all, This is probably a strange request, but I need a leaky canoe or kayak. Actually what I need is a canoe or kayak that has its best days behind it that can be used for a little people play area. We'd like to let them put on pfds, climb in and learn to paddle on dry land. That would give them the chance to start experiences paddling as well as have some fun at the festival. Because the kids will be climbing on it and potentially paddling in it, there is a good chance it could get scratched or dented. So we really want one that is on its way out. In good enough shape that there aren't gaping holes or dangerously rough edges yet not likely to be used in the water again. I used to have the wolds's tippiest canoe. It was completely unstable in the water and would have been perfect for this task as well, but it is long gone. So any ideas or suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. You can contact me at info@racefortherivers.org. Thanks. --cmw
