: I really have never thought about this prior to this past year, but
: has anyone had any good luck with a triple cockpit yak with a
: spot for a dog in the middle cockpit?

I remember seeing a picture of what you might like on the 'net some time ago. It was of a double in which the cockpits had been spaced further apart. This looked like it was done without stretching the whole boat, making turning, carrying and loading on car or trailer no more difficult than a normal double.

I'm sure the extra spacing between cockpits helped to alleviate the paddle clacking "divorce boat syndrome", but it also allowed them to incorporate a large hatch between cockpits. It was wider than usual and about two feet long. This allowed them to carry more gear if they wanted, but, as pictured, leaving the cover off left a command center for the captain, a large black lab. All three looked like they were having a great time.
