Folks, Today I made my first enquiry about shipping my 50lb 17ft x 23in kayak from California to Madrid, Spain. They quoted $900 to send it by boat which would take about a month to arrive. I really hope that is not the norm, as that would double the price that a kayak would cost when the manufacturer is overseas. I am going to keep looking and keep you posted of my findings. Ultimately the best option might be to cut the boat in three pieces and use them as suitcases. After checking with the packaging companies I will check with an airline to see how much they charge for cargo. Now I understand why folding boat companies are still in business charging outrageous high prices. cheers, - Julio *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Mar 17 1998 - 13:15:10 PST
