Hi Dave

That boat must be the classical epitomy of elegant minimalism. My heart literally went doink when I saw the photo.

It just annoys me to think that my local sea kayaking association would want to ban it from group outings because it lacks bulkheads and perimiter deck lines. I have had to deck my latest boat out like a christmas tree with all the deck gear in order to be compliant.

What is the world coming to with all its rules and regulations?

The world has nothing more sublime to offer than the gift of taking pleasure in simple things. The whole point of kayaking, I woudl think.

Sorry for the vent! That boat is a blessing to behold.
