: Very nice! I plan to build one in the next few weeks. (I've built a
: few Grain boards and a Mini Mal.) Are all the deck plugs vents?
: Or are they to last stuff down on? I assume that the ones in the
: middle are for some sort of handle to make it easier to carry?

Thanks Greg,
The two leash plugs at the nose are goretex vent plugs and will also be used for tie downs. The two at the tail are standard leash plugs. I had epoxied some balsa blocking inside at the center of weight thinking I might route out a handle slot, but instead I decided to put a couple of leash plugs there to thread some webbing through for a handle.
