In Response To: Re: Hang that Seat Back! (Ron)

Hi Ron;

I noticed at least one designer that used a single length of webbing to hang the seatback, and I wondered how he adjusted the angle . . . I had intended to use separate adjustments on the two straps, and you've just reinforced that point. I'm also trying to envision how the single unfastened loop that hangs from underneath the cockpit back will work as well. It seems like it should be secured such that the top & bottom straps coming off the seat back can be individually adjusted - But this may remove a necessary degree of freedom. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Thanks for your comments, Spidey

P.S. Hey, it's finally getting cool enough to paddle down here - low 70's - and you're putting your kayak away already? :)
