: I now make the shock cord holes 14 inches apart, but 16 would work
: fine. Some of my earlier boats had them 12 inches apart, but 14
: works better for me.

: I like the hook placed 3 inches above the middle of the shock cord.
: This allows the cord going over the paddle to come down at about
: a 45 degree angle from the surface of the boat.

Thanks John, I was on your kayak page earlier today and saw that you have a paddle park on the guillemot you built. From the look of the pic it seems the hook is about where the thigh braces are but do you recall where the bungee holes where in relation to the shear?
