Wrapping prow of Kon-Tiki (Heyerdahl's vessel) (5)

I believe the answer is:

kraft

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wrapping prow' is the definition.
'kraft' can be an answer for 'wrapping' (kraft paper). I am not sure about the 'prow' bit.

'kon-tiki heyerdahl's vessel' is the wordplay.
'kon-tiki' becomes 'k' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'heyerdahl's vessel' becomes 'raft' (Thor Heyerdahl travelled in a raft).
'k'+'raft'='KRAFT'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for kraft that I've seen is " Strong wrapping paper".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
