Hi folks,
My Elio Dolphin K1 was stolen last night (21/6/10) in Enniscorthy around 2230. Its colours were a green deck and a yellow hull. Unique features would be three yellow kevlar bands on the bow- repairs after an argument with Lucan weir on the Liffey.
It was taken off my car.The straps were also taken which suggests that someone put it on a roof rack. It is seventeen foot long and could only be transported on a roof rack.
Obviously, it is quite tippy. Whoever nicked it is probably never going to be able to paddle it, so its either going to end up abandoned or sold on. (At least I have the consolation of knowing whoever stole it is in for an unpleasant swim)
It is shaped like this:

If anyone sees it about, please let me know, tadhgdebarraathotmaildotcom or Enniscorthy Garda station at +353 53 924 2580

Hi folks, K1 was found in a nearby back garden. I had put flyers through the letterboxes in the area it was stolen. ( I had even put a flyer through the thief's letterbox!) Somebody who had seen the flyer spotted it. It had been opportunistically taken with the intention of selling it on. Putting the flyers around meant that thief couldn't easily move it without it being seen. Thus it remained local and waiting to be seen by someone. Thanks for the support. regards Tadhg
