another form of stress riser in all and wood yaks is on the rear deck right behind the seat. for persons wt or paddleshaft. even w/ the b/head, this area often seems to need a little extra glass to account for the stress riser there, espec w/ a flatter rear deck.

in plastic yaks, i'm used to going over things, sometimes even intentionally. when ever i get finished my wood yaks, i'm sure the same problems will arise(espec flat bottom). not too sure what i'll do, but prob just hold b/h up 1/2"-1" and glass in a radius.nothing directly under. thoughts only
