[Paddlewise] hatch fasteners

Chuck is snipped:  A fellow in our kayak club made a stich-and-glue kayak in 
which the hatch covers are held down by internal bungees.

I tested a prototype kayak with this rig and during a cowboy rescue, my skirt 
caught the hatch and it is now in Davey Jones' Locker.  I recommended they 
use a different system, despite the good looks.
