I just used the same technique to mate the deck and hull on a guillemot S.G. I glassed the inside of the hull, roped the deck to it and am letting it cure. I'll the seperate and repeat the exercise for the deck. Lets see, 20' of 1/4", 50' of anchor line from My SeaRay, and 2 ski ropes, I think the boat is still in there!

: place, I used rope. Lots and lots of rope. About 100 ft on a 14 foot
: kayak.
