There are some here:

Don't worry so much about specifically 'outfitted guillemots'. Look for any kayak rigging that is workable.

Do searches on this forum on:

  • perimeter lines
  • deck lines
  • paddlefloat outrigger
  • leidy lids
  • grab loops
  • bow toggles
  • padeyes
  • recessed fittings
  • maroske fittings
  • greenley fittings

That should be a good start!

'Brit boats' have very well thought-out outfitting. You need to know some of the rationale behind some of their decisions, then they make a great deal of sense.

Make your deck outfitting burly.
