I didn't try to roll, but coamig come off on two short trips.  I think I
tucked it pretty accurate at the beginning. I had to stop and tuck it back
again (deflating sponsons for this purpose).  It didn't come off for a
second time. Mine Kahuna has Big version of cockpit, though. According to
spevs inner cockpit size is 32"x16".  In reality it's 33"x17" inmy boat,
i.e. longer and narrower.  Can it be this discrepancy to blaim?  Skin is
tensioned pretty tight - aft extension bars on the 3rd hole (longest),
cockpit bars - on the 1st hole (just can't extend it to the 2nd, too tight).
Alex.
