hi,

Had this same set-up on my njord - lines up from near the shear line and perimeter line down there as well. I did it 'cause it looked cool.

After one summers' trips i took the kayak back to shop and filled those holes and drilled new ones as high as still left enough room for the stuff i carry on deck. Why? In a low volume design the sides are very wet and lines this low increase DRAG considerably, in any waves, and especially in the nice big ones.

But with Maroske fittings there you are - can't remove those, or can you?

greetings,

risto
