At one of Canoecopia's presentations, Nigel had a slide that showed how the three piece kayaks were packed on his Antarctica expedition. The group's kayaks, when broken down, fit into a standard aircraft cargo container. He referred to the freight charge as "nominal." A piece of cargo six feet long, three feet wide and a foot and a half deep weighing ~ 20 pounds is not that extraordinary for airline cargo as opposed to an eighteen foot one piece kayak. The concept must be sound if he trusts them in Antarctica. > > > I'm somewhat curious about the "bolt together" kayaks.
