Absolutely.  Won't take more than 5-8 hours at room tempreature. I put 2
large ribs inside (anything of that size will do), to keep the skin peaked
to let it dry from inside. No need to assemble the whole frame.

Never paddled in such conditions so far, but Kahuna somewhat nosedives if
you load 25-35 lbs of gear in front section.  Sprayskirt helps a lot,
though.
