Thanks to All for your extremely helpful replies!

Jay and Bill H. - Thanks for the leads for vendors - excellent resources!

Bryan and SttephenHJ - I wish I could do without the deck rigging to hold the paddle blade to coaming but my hands are not that large or strong enough to maintain a solid grip while I'm hoisting the rest of me into the boat.

Paul Davies - Your method sound ingenious. The boat is alredy built - no recessed coaming or flat area behind the cockpit - and I don't have a GP (yet...) so I'll need to stick with the shove-the-paddle-blade-under the bungees method for now.

Dave Hauser - I LOVE the elegance of your solution - and that kayak is beautiful! Vaclav showed me a number of fittings he made with carbon fiber. Very cool technique and it seems they must be fun to make. Since my boat is already finished and there is no hatch forward of the cockpit it would be difficult for me to install any fittings that would require a bolt and nut (can't reach inside to snug the nut). I went to the clc website and they have a link for instructions for installation of these fittings but the link leads nowhere. My kayak is of course already glassed and varnished.
- Is there any special technique for adhering them to the deck on top of varnish?
- Without a bolt holding them on are they really secure enough to hold decklines?

Thanks very much to everyone,
Vivian
