Gabriel, Does QCC Kayaks sell those nifty recessed fittings, or are they just an example? I must admit I'm reluctant to put too large holes in the S&G hull because intuitively it seems like it introduces more weakness rather than spreading out the load. Alex, I agree completely about the perimeter deck line (needing to be rope, not bungee). Haven't gotten there yet, though I'll have a lot of regular pad eyes left over if I don't use them for the shock cord. One wouldn't want to use regular line through holes in the hull, of course, because it wouldn't fill the holes and keep the water out. The Pygmy pad eyes seem like they could get broken off easily during a re-entry, which is why I'm looking for an alternative. Does this Real Kayaks have a web site? ;-) Severn *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
