Thanks, David. That is a very clever idea. There are many more on your excellent site and I enjoyed them all. I can see how you were inspired to build your kayaks by 'Porcupine', which strikes me as a cross between a kayak and a martial arts weapon.
I noticed in your video 'Baidarka Cling Wrap Test' that the sand on your beach is even whiter than our beaches here on the South China Sea. Just kidding, or as they say here 'joke-joke'.
Take care, Shark

: They are basically just modified comings with plugs that fit in.
: The hardest thing to figure out was the hold down system. I
: wanted something traditional looking so hence the way the straps
: loop over the toggle. (the left and right straps in the picture
: are separate, the left side one loops over the toggle in the
: middle and is tightened down). If you were in a hurry nylon
: webbing would be a lot easier to rig up.
: I use them mostly for shoving gear rearward and retrieving things
: from the ends, they are big enough to fit your head in, so you
: can shove gear in that way, but its way faster to put the gear
: in through the cockpit, and reach in through the hatch and pull
: it towards the ends.
