Freya's kayak for the SI was indeed an NDK - but it was one of his 3-piece ones. You may have seen something similar in some of Justine's TITS videos (Tasmania ?) where she uses a 3-piece NDK. For Freya's, NDK simplified the attachment to a series of recessed ski-boot-like clips - it was an early-model clip-together 3-piece. The inevitable happened in some big west-coast surf (on a fairly remote beach). Paul Caffyn went and rescued the damsel and got the boat patched up (he had a busy summer in 2007, with 4 people going round the SI - three of them pretty & female). As I remember, Paul then sent a rude photo to Nigel, of the boat in two pieces and Paul standing there with a chain saw... Nigel and he share a few memories, having circumnavigated the UK together, back when the world was young.
