In addition to the other great deck rigging suggestions John Fereira mentioned, I love using this fitting, also shown on Gabriels site: http://www.studiofurniture.com/diary/kayak/outfit/moroske/index.html I retrofitted these to my Guillemot, and am installing them on the Cormorant I'm currently building (before seaming the hull and deck). Unfortunately, it takes two holes for each line attachment point, but that's a small matter. Using 3/8" vinyl tubing, you can just pass a 1/4" bungie and 1/4" poly perimeter line through each fitting. If you wanted any more lines to pass, you'd need to install another fitting. I considered using a larger vinyl tubing, but it would've taken too much space within the boat...plus it would still be hard to control the "collapse" factor when you bend the tubing over, so I'd still recommend a second fitting, rather than a larger one.
