I share the same appreciation for the ocean cockpit (I've got one in my FG VCP Skerray). Where your knees rest seems to be a personal preference thing. Some people like to have their knees spread out so that they make contact with the boat on the sides of the hull, while other like to have contact from the inside of the knees. As another winter project you might want to take a look at the "Making a Kayak Knee Tube" article on the CLC site (www.clcboats.com) on the Spring Newsletter page. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
