In Response To: lifting toggles & canvas (Brian)

Brian,

I installed brass padeyes, screwed down into the stems, with brass screws, through the canvas. I have used the kayak for almost a year now with no leaking. It isn't the most traditional setup, but it works quite well.

Mike

: Quick quest. Can lifting toggles be installed on a canvas covered kayak, and
: how to prevent leaking underneath the canvas?
