: I just finished stripping the deck yesterday and cut out the
: cockpit recess today!

: Question.. After re-stripping for the recess should I cut out the
: cockpit hole before or after glass? My brain say before but I
: bet it doesn't matter.

: Also does anyone have any comments on building the recess with
: those knee braces built in (you know at the front of the cockpit
: protruding in)? Like are they usefull on the guillemot or is the
: recess itself good for this?

: Thanks

Round ocean cockpit and then the whole deck is a knee brace :)

There's a reason that many of the Greenland kayaks had round coamings, also means if you wear a skirt it's tiny (mini-skirt).
