: Hi
: I have heard that someone have made an opening in the spraydeck to be able to
: get things in cockpit without open the whole thing. I have a big opening
: in my cockpit (VKV Seagull Offshore) with neoprene spraydeck. Have anyone
: heard the same as me and know more about it?

: Pelle

Pelle:

I recently read about that idea in the February 2002 issue of Sea Kayaker Magazine. The author, Pete Roszyk, used a stock plastic screw-top deck plate fastened through his neoprene spray deck, screwed to a homemade plywood flange on the inside. Looks like there's a section on this at his webpage, listed in this reply.
