Peter,

  This sounds like an interesting concept, but I cannot quite picture what
it is that you're talking about when you mention "moulded channels beneath
the deck".  Does the perimeter line run in channels moulded into the deck
(set below the surface).  If so what are the dimensions of the channels
(depth & width)?  Who makes kayaks with the setup you've described?  What
kind of fibreglass layup is the deck made of?

Thanks,
