In Response To: Re: S&G: thumbscrew hatch hold-down (Marcel R. in Portland, Or.)

Marcel:
Thanks for sharing the ulimited uses for deck lines that me, as a novice paddler has yet to experience. Unfortunately you just added a week to my project as I either contemplate the need or install them. If deck lines are the choice, I'd rather delay the launch a week or so as opposed to sanding off varnish to install them shortly there after.

When I've spent so much time on the veneer deck work, (thanks for the compliment) often you lose your priorities. Sometimes you can't see the forest thru the herons. I could imagine the difficulity of a water re-entry without deck lines. Not to mention, day paddling today may lead to touring tomorrow. A deck line between the cockpits at least might be in order. Thanks for your insite...
