You mentioned not to put the rigging group too close to the front of the
: cockpit as it may interfere with paddle strokes, how close is to close??

Depends how tall you are and how long your arms are. I'm 6'2" and have long arms. One boat I built, my hands touch the edge once in a while which is an annoyance. And if I carry something under there it's in the way. You have to judge your own size, fit and paddling style. I now use a Greenland which I use a lower palddling style.
