S&G: Deck Rigging
By:Ken Sutherland
Date: 2/6/2003, 3:47 pm

In searching the archives with respect to deck rigging,the general concensus seems to be...for the front bungees, three horizontal bungees about 5" apart are the most functional. This is what I have layed out with tape so far. What about the bungees aft of the cockpit? Dimensions wide enough to hold my GP for paddle float re-entry, I am guessing. My kayak has gone untouched for a while now because I am unsure about this step. I know it will be like all the other building stages where after the deed is done I find myself saying "that wasn't so bad". I'm using recessed wood fittings. Anything else I should know or think about before I drill great big holes in a perfectly good kayak???

Thanks,

Ken
