I'm currently building a Sea Tour 15 R. I have raised the front coaming by 2 cm, with slighter adjustments in the next two bulkheads, down to the bow. I just wanted to have a little more foot room. It will be several weeks before I get skinned, and can try the fit for real.

BTW, my last 2 Yost boats used a floorboard system with plywood on little side rails. The first was full length, and the second under the seat only. I keep looking for ways to make the floorboards even lighter. This time I'm going to try molding a simple fiberglass floorboard to go under the seat.

: Nice to hear that Bill, so I still have 20 years to think about a
: racing kayak... In the meanwhile my lumbar muscles ask for a
: wiser boat! ;)
: May I ask you Bill to post some pictures of your "sea tour
: 15"? with the rised deck and vertical ends It sure must be
: very close to the boat I dream.
: Also the Kudzu's Curlew look nice, but maybe I'd like a bit highter
: deck on the bow. Not so hight like the f1, but not so flat.

: I understand that vertical ends need for a rised deck to keep the
: cockpit dry. That's good for me.
