Deck lines

Hi Folks,

Is there a recommended layout for deck lines for a kayak ? I mean grab-lines running the length of the boat, paddle-parks and the mechanism behind the cockpit for holding one end of the paddle when using a paddle-float.

I have built a Guillemot, and I have tried adding grab lines along the length of the boat each side of the deck. But when the lines are taut they don't follow the nice curvature of the boat and look awful. Apart from adding fixings every foot or so, is there any other way to do this nicely ?

Thanks in advance.
