Re marking the kayak with your name, that could also have an advantage in an emergency if the kayak was found first, as has happened here. Too late for the paddler in our case, but a name would have helped, especially for his next-of-kin. I have printed my contact details on sheets of paper, soaked them in resin, and then laid them up in several places inside with a layer of thin cloth over the top. Some were in easy-to-see places for safety and deterrence, while others were tucked away to aid identification and/or prosecution in the event of theft. Removing them would be time consuming and leave obvious marks, which would put off many crims.
