In Response To: Names I missed...and one question (David)

I tried the Chilco this past weekend--the aft deck is pretty low for a production boat....proponents of Greenland style kayaks say upturned greenland bows and sterns actually make rolling easier, since the boat won't rest exactly upside down.

One thing I noticed--not sure if the other Seawards are similar--was that the knee hooks aren't really hooks. A tiny wedge of minicell would make a huge difference.
