Not so if you consider all Paul Caffyn's trips (round the three islands of New Zealand, Japan, round Australia, seaboard of Alaska) were in Nordkapps, light and ultralight weight. Other paddlers' South Island sucessful circumnavigations were in Nordkapps and one in a Southern Aurora (NZ design). Unsucessful trips were in Arctic Raiders. As far as I know his and Conrad's Greenland trips were also in Nordkapps. Alex . .
