In Response To: Deck lines (Ed Walshe - Dublin)

Here is a picture showing the deck lines on a Guillemot I built. This seems to work fairly well.

: Is there a recommended layout for deck lines for a kayak ? I mean grab-lines
: running the length of the boat, paddle-parks and the mechanism behind the
: cockpit for holding one end of the paddle when using a paddle-float.

: I have built a Guillemot, and I have tried adding grab lines along the length
: of the boat each side of the deck. But when the lines are taut they don't
: follow the nice curvature of the boat and look awful. Apart from adding
: fixings every foot or so, is there any other way to do this nicely ?

: Thanks in advance.
