In Response To: Strip: Take-apart bulkhead ? (Andy Waddington)

: Anyone ever tried (successfully or otherwise) a take-apart strip kayak ? I'm
: at the late planning stage of a 5.5m baidarka style design, and one of the
: things I would like to do would be to travel by air with it. If I split
: the hull at the forward bulkhead, I get sections of 2.25 and 3.25m, which
: I believe are small enough to go as hold baggage on scheduled flights. But
: is it a feasible proposition ? I'm interested to hear of any experience,
: particularly with regard to
: a) how to do it
: b) weight penalty
: c) strength compromises
: d) problems with alignment / surface finish - extra drag etc.
