: I've always sewn along the deckridge as I see no reason to have the
: potential for an
: underwater seam that can potentially leak. A one piece hull is the
: goal.

: Plus, no underwater seam means no need for additional strip to seal
: it. I've always
: added a temporary thin woodstrip or thin aluminum rod or tube at
: any open sections of the deckridge
: as a guide for sewing.

: If you don't like the look of a sewn deckridge seam, a cloth rub
: strip glued along the deckridge will smooth things out.

: Sewing along the gunwales seems a good way to go also. Below is a
: pic of a sewn and then cloth strip covered deckridege
: on a nylon / hypalon coated skin.

Hi Tom,

Well....there's always another way to not have seams showing, don't sew them, hint hint ;)
