Just two quick comments. I don't see any rigging behind the cockpit to set up for a paddle float reentry. I often use that spot to stick a paddle jacket in case I want to put it on after I'm out on the water. Or vice versa. Make sure you can reach the front bungees from your seated position.

BTW, nice looking boat.
