In Response To: reverse riser (mike allen)

: 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.

Another good reason for a day hatch and extra bulkhead! ;)

BTW, I'm with Shawn - I use my boats pretty {very??} hard and I'm not seeing any stress issues from the bulkheads.
