I put a "Maroske" fitting at the peak of the foredeck in my Cormorant. Of course, I put them everywhere else, too!

: I am planning my deck lines for my nearly finished Pygmy COHO. I have settled
: on using KajakSport deckfittings to hold the cross hull bungees and the
: perimeter static lines. The question I have is what to do at the bow. The
: deck at the bow of the COHO has a pronounced peak along the center line.
: This may (probably) make it difficult if not impossible to mount one of
: the hard deckfittings, which seem designed for generally flat surfaces, to
: the peak. (I haven't yet received the deckfittings I ordered so some of my
: concerns are based on assumptions of the design of the KajakSport
: fittings)

: I have thought of putting a soft fitting at the bow (1" webbing doubled
: over into a loop and screwed into place, hopefully screwing into the
: end-pour). However, I have heard that the soft fittings aren't appropriate
: for perimeter lines.

: Any comments or suggestions?

: Thanks,
