: Hi Luke,
: I've never noticed any water pooling on the deck of my greenland
: style kayak, they don't stay still enough on the water. :)
: Mine has two flat stringers that runs from the beam at the aft of
: the cockpit to the next one back, overhanging that one by a few
: inches. It's there to support the skin when I'm getting in and
: out. It doesn't raise the skin above the gunwale height, though.

: South West Cork

Mine too, boat isn't level long enough for water to pool there.
