josko Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 What's the cost and procedure of shipping three-piece kayaks to distant destinations? I assume they get on the flight as 'excess baggage' or somesuch, but any detailed info on just how it works and what it costs would be very welcome. Do 3 piece boats come with protecting bags suitable for airline baggage? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Try asking Justine Curgenven. She used a 3 piece Explorer during her Aleutian expedition. You'll find her contact info on cackletv.com.Good luck! We all expect to hear your "trip"-report from wherever you're going. Where are you going?

EEL Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Try asking Justine Curgenven. She used a 3 piece Explorer during her Aleutian expedition. You'll find her contact info on cackletv.com.Just to be picky (obviously I need to get on the water), she used a Valley Etain for the Aleutian trip. I believe she had used Explorers on her earlier trips.Said she liked it. Outen's sectional was held together by clips as opposed to bolts and it became sketchy as the clips failed so that was her take away comment about sectionals.Tom Bergh had a sectional (Nordkapp?) and might have some thoughts about transporting them.Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverseyourself Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hmm, you're of course right Ed. I was just so used to seeing her using Explorer and Romany that I assumed, instead of looking closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glad Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I would ask Nigel Dennis who brought them to the Exumas a few years back. I think they mention their transport logistics in an article on that subject by Ella , his partner. I tried to find the link to the article but failed. Also, Greq Paquin of Wavelology would probably know since he'll likely be supplying a few this season and is in close touch with NDK.Please let me know what you find.Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
