The takeapart option on my Valley Canoe Products boat adds something less than 10 pounds. The last time I flew with my VCP it cost $225.00, not to mention the strain of moving 3 ea 6ft bags around: Cars, people, bush planes, etc. I'm a fairly big guy at 6'2" and 225 pounds and I found it tough to manage. By the way the big rolly carts at the airports are monopolized by the skycaps and they'll cost ya. I could go on and on about this! If you plan on a lot of travel I highly recommend the Feathercraft. I just placed a phone call to a small inter country airline in Central America and they would not charge me for the feathercraft or extra gear. It makes traveling sooooo nice. The 3 piece is not a bad option if you are going to have only one boat for home and travel but beware of the facts that are not disclosed on three piece kayaks. It can be disappointing. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
