Haven't you seen North American kayaks? Bulkheads fitted as far away from the cockpit rim as possible to give as much cockpit flooded volume as possible. If the Seayak is representitive of European kayaks then they are no better. I think there are some Australian kayaks using minimal cockpit volumes the same as NZ ones. Alex . .
