I hear you there Bill - although mine is oddly heavier than many other NDK's I've had the "pleasure" of lifting, and if my memory is correct it didn't start out that way, hence my suspicions. Still, could be in the range of normal weight variability. I perhaps I'm getting weaker! I have another british boat that's also "heavy" but comparitively light despite being bigger/longer. Go figure. Carbon layup has some value I suppose...
