G'Day Richard,

Possibly, though not a standard stock item. One year for the Hawkesbury
Classic 110km overnight race, our club considered putting together a kayak
that was sold in sections. The idea was that each of us in the team would buy
a section and the boat would then accommodate as many in the team as wanted to
give it a go.

We floated the idea for a month or two but it never took off, mainly because
the protagonist had to go to Iraq as he was working as a doctor over there.
But it was based on a commercial kayak 'kit'.

All the best, PeterO
