Are any women on the list having trouble with any aspects of assembling
or disassembling their folding kayaks? I just took my K-Light apart to
pack for my upcoming Baja trip... it must have taken an hour and half!
If you've got any secrets to make the job easier, please pass them my
way

While getting the big struts INTO place is the sticking point when I put
it together (this is when I go screaming for a man to help), I struggled
FOREVER with sliding the two end frame sections out of the skin on
disassembly, even longer than I struggled with getting those two struts
OUT of place! 

Please someone, design a folding boat that doesn't require so much
muscle! Sheesh! Well, now that I've got that out of my system, I'm going
to try to cram all that "stuff" into the backpack........ (and I did,
BTW, disassemble it entirely by myself!!)  ;-)
