howdy, >I have had similar thoughts also.

On the other >hand the Klepper uses more traditional (easily fixable) components, and has a >more flexible sailing set up (main & jib - versus Feathercraft single sail). This puzzles me as the feathercraft has a full boat skirt / deck attached permanent to the yak, it seems harder to me to turn it into a single [ I guess you paddle from the rear cockpit as I do with my klepper] Klepper does have a midde seat unit for solo paddling with a extra skirt with a center hole...

Mostly due to damages, I seen my begs fly out of the cargo door of the plane in Indonesia a couple times... Mostly it is wear and tear of the clips, they seem to loosen after a few years... Easy as pie to get new parts, there are dealers all over the place and a great mail order as well [ klepper that is] I sure do like mine i tell you...taing it to S E Asia every winter and love it... enjoy...
