Al,
Alden recently posted in the "for sale" part of this sight that Joe Jacobi is selling a kids Vajda Lizard. That's a great C-1, new design, fast, easy turning. I just picked one up this past spring as my first C-1 and I'm loving it.
The boat's probably not in Ontario, but it seems like a good deal. I don't think you'll find many new slalom designs for sale for someone that size. I'm sixteen and had a fair amount of difficulty finding a boat that would fit my weight.

C-1 slalom
Al - have you tried contacting ORR (Ottawa River Runners)? They are the provinces most active slalom club for kids, and they have quite a few up and comers Alicia's age and younger! They have C1, K1, and one or two C2 boats currently competing in Europe.Al Greve wrote:Does anyone know were I could find a good used C1 slalom boat that would fit Aliesha, she weights 75lbs. I'd preferr to find one here in Ontario, but if not I would consider some distance.
Their membership is always buying/selling boats, so you may get some luck there. Their coaches are also looking at deals when they go to competitions, so if they know you are looking, they can help broker a deal.
If you need help contacting them, let me know and I'll send you emails privately.
