Like brand new! Almost never used. Serial Number - 055321

Klepper no longer makes this shorter single seater model - the current single seater in production is the longer Aerius I 490.

This kayak comes included with 2 packing bags, rubber moulded alu framed 'Comfort' bottom seat and backrest, spare paddle, and one piece spraydeck.with integrated waistskirt.

The entire kayak is immaculate with hardly any marks on the varnish or the skin - it appears as if the owner packed the boat away soon after delivery. Due to the proximity of the coast, there are some corrosion marks on the alu mast holder (apex of the washboard frame).

This model was in production between 1948-58. The predecessor to the following T9-59 (1959-1975) model of the same length and width. These two models did not have sponsons. The famous Klepper Aerius I 450 (1951-2010) was produced in parallel, eventually replacing the two earlier 450 models.

Klepper T66 Slalom
- Ref 053ME

This is a rare very good condition slalom kayak which has hardly been used, given the lack of wear and tear for its age. This particular model was only produced around 1958-59.

Included is the rare waist skirt, also in excellent condition plus the two pack bags.

The hull is a little stiff - it should soften a little with warmth.

The owner also purchased a Klepper wooden shafted paddle which is also in a very immaculate condition - this paddle is separate to the price of the kayak at £200.

A well looked after kayak - in immaculate condition.

Purchased new from a UK dealer in 2005. This kayak was widely used as a sailing kayak, mostly in fresh water, up till 2011 when unfortunately the wife suffered a work related back injury and the kayak has hardly been used since.

Unmarked skin and frame - clean throughout with the kayak's skin being folded loosely. Owner always packed away the frame pieces in bubble wrap so the frame is relatively unmarked.

Includes tandem spraydeck, rudder system and packing bags.

This kayak came with a Balogh Batwing BOSS sail rig / outrigger - not included in the price of this kayak but a special deal will be considered if both this kayak and the BOSS Batwing sail,system are brought together! This kayak has an extra mast base plate fitted for the Batwing sail.and special brackets to hold the BOSS. See BSD Batwing sail rig with BOSS Outrigger - Ref SR081JT

Klepper Aerius II 520 Classic (H. S. Walther GmbH)
- Ref 040MS

Complete with frame, skin, spray deck, waist skirts, and steering system. Produced during the early 1980's when Klepper was being produced under license by H. S. Walther GmbH. Identified by the hexagonal Klepper logo.

This particular frame has the long plywood covered floorboard version, intended for sailing purposes, unlike the more common ladder like floorboards (panels with gaps).
The frame is in a very immaculate condition. The pole rubber seats is of the newer black version, all in very good condition and will not need to be replaced for a long time..

The hull of the kayak skin shows no abrasive marks. There are 4 x 6cm wide keel strips which appears to have been added at some point after the original kayak purchase in the Netherlands - these keel strips are peeling on the edges and needs re-gluing (we will fix this). The bow and stern end caps have "perished" (bubbled from heat?) but appears to not to need replacing at the present time.

The spray deck is of the clip on type, with all clips intact. Some sealing tape has come off, just needs re-gluing. The waist skirts are in excellent condition, showing no signs of usage.

Includes full steering system - rudder and pedals. The steering cables is plastic coated in fair condition


This kayak has been well looked after, giving the appearance that it has hardly been used.

Two original packing bags - long frame bag and the skin 'backpack' bag are both in excellent condition. The owner used a separate nylon bag as the third bag to hold the small frame parts, and the steering system .

Klepper Aerius II Classic (H. S. Walther GmbH) 520 double seater- Ref 040MS
 
Up arrow

Klepper Aerius II 520 Classic, Blue
- Ref 033SM - SOLD

Complete with frame, skin, and steering system. A mix of old and new - previous owner replaced the original wooden back rests with newer version rubber backrests, newer rudder pedals and a newer rear wider keel board frame. The kayak skin is also a replacement skin being newer than the original frame - this replacement skin was purchased from Klepper many years ago and appears to be custom made on request as it has a rare open style paddle blade pockets and canvas strap paddle shaft holders on the rear deck only - as if the owner wanted to customise his boat for solo sailing. The seat bottoms have also been "modified" with home made canvas covered cushions (stiff HD foam inner). This kayak came with sail rigs - to be sold separately.

Includes full steering system - rudder and pedals. As expected with age, we will replace the steering cables with new wire or para cord.


The kayak has been carefully stored fully assembled and covered in a dry boat club boat shed, next to a lake. Last usage was possibly about 10 years ago

Klepper Aerius II Classic 520 double seater - Ref 033SM
Up arrow

Klepper Aerius II 520 Classic
- Ref 020CL

Complete with frame and skin. Includes spray deck and steering system. Overall, this kayak is in very good condition and comes with well made "Four Seasons" kayak bags that were replaced the original bags a few years ago. As often happens with certain manufactured pole rubber seats with age, some have perished and so all seats will be replaced with new ones. The End Post had snapped in half and was loosely "repaired" by the previous owner with steel plates - this frame part, we will replace with a good condition used spare. The previous owner had made some padding and covers for the back rests and had glued some High Density CC foam onto the wooden backrest. This padding is difficult to remove, so this will be left as is, as home made new or used covers is the best and easiest solution. One of the home made back rest covers has a tear - unusable. The previous owner also made a repair to the stern central keel board paneling with an extra pieces of plywood on both sides - this appears to be be good.

Spray deck is of the single piece type, with integrated waist skirts. The spray deck is attached to the cockpit coaming with clips.

Includes full steering system - rudder and pedals. As expected with age, we will replace the steering cables with new wire.

Klepper Aerius II Expedition
Up arrow

Klepper Aerius II 520 'Klepper SYST' Expedition Olive
- Ref 080AC


Produced during the early 1980's when Klepper was being produced under license by H. S. Walther GmbH. Identified by the hexagonal Klepper logo and the prefix 'Klepper SYST' on the kayak's stern. Forward thinking HS Walther tried to "breathe new life" into the range of civilian model Kleppers, one of which was the introduction of new deck colours, from the previous traditional blue. These new variants had the 'Klepper SYST' prefix in front of the Aerius name, but this project was short lived - lasted about 5-6 years, before reverting back to only offering kayaks in Blue and Red and dropping the SYST name..

This Olive Green SYST model is an adaptation of the NATO Mk13 military model as issued to military units around the world. This "downgraded" version still has the same heavy duty hypalon, and deck layout, but with standard sponsons (not quattro) and plain varnished frame.

Well used, well traveled, but well maintained. The frame is in very good condition and the hull has no serious damage apart from the usual scrapes as would be expected from lots of usage. The owner has made a DIY solid backrest as shown in the photos - the original backrest is still available. The original deck rigging appears to have been removed and replaced with newer thicker rope.

Complete with rudder, rudder pedals, footrest (for front paddler) and 3 pack bags, all in good condition.

This kayak did come with a tuck-under olive green spray deck, complete with waist skirts and cockpit covers. The elastics on the waist skirts has stretched so that they will not hold on firmly on the cockpit rims. This accessory set is separate to the kayak and is not included in the kayak price.


As is tradition among some, this kayak has been named 'Selchie' which is printed on the bow!

Klepper TS2, Black (TPU)
- Ref 049SB

Complete with original frame but with a new specially made lightweight (TPU) replacement skin.

Reproduced a few years ago (but never used) especially for the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe race (Folding Boat Class) as this kayak model has one of the fastest shaped hull for marathons, being the narrowerest and longest model tandem Klepper ever made (5.5 x 0.78m). This model has no sponsons hence the narrow beam - bow and stern buoyancy bags is required as per DW racing rules. This kayak will still float if filled with water - the frame set has slightly more wood compared to the current day Klepper Aerius tandems.

Seats are the original wooden seats - latter & current rubberised seats still fit.

Spray deck / waist skirts not included - spray decks for the common Klepper Aerius II 520 fits this boat. Steering system is also not included - Old and current version AEII steering kits also fits this boat.

Wayland Amazon 520 Expedition
- Ref 091RS


An early version Wayland Amazon 520 that used an all-in-one design concept where the bow and stern keel frames sections has a fixed end post with the side gunwale frames attached to that end post. EG the side gunwale frames, end post and the keel frame is in one piece.

This is the Expedition verision which includes holders for a small spade, and an axe on the bow deck (hypalon pockets). Also on the bow deck are pacddle pockets / holders for a split paddle. The stern deck has a rear loading hatch, and on top of that loading hatch is an integrated storage bag. On the the front side decks, there is a pair of pannier type bags, and on the rear side decks, a pair of PET bottle holders.

The kayak skin is in decent condition given its age. The frame, ideally, needs to be cleaned up and revarnished, to extend it's life.

Polish copy of the Klepper AEII 545, with extra fittings to use the kayak as a single seater. Has paddle pockets / holders to secure a split paddle on the bow deck, as well as the usual fittings required to hold a sail rig (not included).

In very good condition overall. Hull has no repair patches and has light scratch marks as expected with normal usage. No air leaks in the sponsons, but the sponsons are twisted within the nylon sleeves - easily rectified with re-installation

Klepper Master #4- Ref 044KP
Frame only. With 2 red backrest cushions. Sold as a plain dinghy with no extras (No row oars, sail rig etc)

Previous owner attempted to refurbish the frame by sanding the frame and re-varnishing to remove the mold marks, starting with all of the cross ribs. The re-varnishing was done poorly. At best, ideally this 'new' varnish needs to be sanded and finished off with a final coat. It appears that the owner aborted the refurbishing project after doing the cross ribs as no other frame parts were touched.

Other issues - All pole stringer rubbers needs replacing (hard and brittle) - this we can do at extra cost, or supply the spare parts at cost (own DIY)

New replacement skin can be supplied with this frame. More detailed photos available on request
