: Hi all,
: Apologies for the cross posting (also on qajaqusa). I'm currently
: building an F1 with Cape Falcon kayaks in Oregon, having come
: over from Italy for the workshop. I didn't think getting it back
: to Naples would be difficult but the frieight companies I've
: contacted are telling me that at 14 ft it's too long to air
: frieight and that they also can't ship by sea anything less than
: 200lbs and that anyway they only ship commercial goods by sea eg
: fedex, dhl. I'm hoping a kayak manufacturer can help out but if
: anyone has any other ideas they'd be much appreciated!
: Thanks in anticipation
: Simon

I'd talk to Brian and see if you can just build it two piece and skin it when you get home (if it's not too late already) after the parts are joined.
