Kinda like this....

: The neatest SOF hatch idea I've seen is a small coaming sewn to the skin just
: like a typical cockpit coaming, utilizing a waterproof cover with bungee
: around the perimeter like a cockpit cover. Maybe not as tough or
: waterproof (?) as a plastic hatch, but that depends on the cover I think.
: At any rate, its really no more visually intrusive than a typical deck
: plate, especially if the cover is the same color as the skin. You could
: theoretically make it as large as you dared, definitely much larger than
: the common deck plates I've seen, although larger openings may be tougher
: to keep sealed up in certain situations without an 'implosion bar' of some
: sort. The photo below comes from Anders Thygesen of
: http://kajakkspesialisten.no - I've seen a close up photo of the hatch
: before but can't seem to find it now...
