G'Day Kevin and Paddlewise,

That was a very useful description of assembly, thanks. Any comments on
drying times and conditions. Could it be dried in a hotel room in a day?

I'm very interested in the Kahuna as my greatly loved Klepper is not quite
portable enough to take away on business trips, which occasionally have
weekend paddling opportunities. Another thing I'ld like to know is whether
the Kahuna is suitable for choppy conditions at sea (1m to 2m sea - 15 to 20
knot winds - 2m to 4m swell). I'm not sure how practical it is to evaluate a
boat in those terms but would be very interested to hear of peoples
experience.

All the best, PeterO
