Re: [Paddlewise] retrofitting bulkheads

As noted the bulhead behind the seat in Nigel Dennis kayaks also permits easy
flushing of water during a rescue.

In terms of the forward bulkhead, I know Nigel will build a kayak with custom
placement of the forward bulkhead.  Thus if you have long legs, the bulkhead can
be placed further forward. If you have short legs, the bulkhead can be moved
back - giving more forward storage space and less space for water when you
capsize.  I do not think there is an extra cost for this customization.

Keep in mind that volume manufacturers must design and build for the "average"
person.
