: I agree with you on the Chuchanut 12. Given the dimensions, set of
: float bags is really the solution. For the SeaBee, you can
: certainly use a seasock.

: A seasock is almost exactly what it sounds like; it is a sock that
: slides down inside the cockpit and prevents water from entering
: the boat. It does nothing to keep the paddler dry, but if
: properly installed should keep the boat from flooding. This page
: has a pretty good description.
