: This all also allows for a continuously flowing deck in plywood
: construction.

How do you pump your knees with a masik?

I sit with my legs straight out on the hull, and don't use a seat, but I do point my feet forward a bit. I was just confused as to why you'd need that clearance if there were enough for you to get in past the front edge of the cockpit. Is it uncomfortable for you to point your feet forward? My foredeck is too low to sit frog-legged. (Night Heron with 1" out of the sheer and an additional 2+ out of the deck height forward of the cockpit.)

I'm not being critical, I'm just trying to understand. What If I built one and didn't put in that bit?
