It's 14.9 ft Kahuna, shorter than K-1. I think I could fit a compression
drybag with synthetic bag when I don't have floatation bags and when I don't
carry much water and/or when my aft storage room isn't split by a mast going
through the rear hatch.  Perhaps my case is not typical, I shouldn't have
grumbled :-). Doug has given a good advice - to use mid-price synthetic bag
and replace it every few years when it will die of compression.
