I don't know how far you are in the building process but you will be glassing in 31/2" hip braces under the coaming. There is room to wrap a cable around this brace and then down to the rack to secure the boat. Which model are you building? I'm paddled my Arctic Tern 4 times know and love it! I'm in the process of sanding and varnishing now that the weather is warm enough to allow better drying time for the varnish. I also will be carving a new seat.
