: What did you do for your hatch seals? Did you check out the "edge
: only" seal that Ted Henry applied to Holly's magnet-hatched Silver?

I used Vaclav's design for a gasket inset into the molding. I've toyed with adding a second thin gasket to the lid to match up with the edge of the frame since I'm still getting some slight leakage, but the SOF is really looking like a boat and the Return is on display at the local paddle shop, so... Since I only get the leakage after roll sessions, and since I'm building the SOF specifically for rolling, maybe I won't ever bother.

I expect to use magnets when I build the King, but suspect I'll do something different with gaskets - just not sure what yet.
