: I've already done a couple of cedar-strip canoes, and am going to be building
: a couple of strip kayaks this winter. I have'nt decided for sure on the
: design or model, but sure do like the looks of some of Guillimot's
: offerings. My question is: Has anyone had any experience with SINGLE sea
: kayaks with a larger hatch to accommodate a small child? I don't want a
: double as I think it would be too cumbersome when I go out alone, but want
: the option for my wife and I to take the kids along with us if we want.

That is an interesting idea. If the front hatch( kiddie kockpit ) were added, then would the regular cockpit need repositioning aft due to the additional weight, balance? And if so, what would be the result of NOT having the front hatch being used?
