In Response To: Strip: Resources on 3-piece sectional (Stephen Troy)

: One of the downsides of getting engaged while living in a condo is
: that ideas like "Well, I'll just put the kayak on that
: wall, it'll look great" can now be vetoed. Given the cost
: of renting storage, I'm considering going with a three piece
: sectional I can stick in the storage unit when not paddling.

: Anybody ever do this? Any resources on how to do it? I saw a thread
: on some Scandinavian forum where a guy converted his kayak. It
: appears like it would be much easier to build it that way in the
: first place, and given the hull's not done yet I think I have
: the option.

This blog(?) has some info that may be of use. It discusses the pros and cons of using sectionals, but also has some pictures of the joining methods most often used.
