In Response To: relief on the water (Shawn)

Just ideas not tried and only have a few minutes. These are all solo as i'm not that sociable.

sponsons - and therefore able to get on back deck.

seat like w/w seats - the water bottle holder is like a urinal trough.

strong thigh pads on either side that inflate to therefor slightly move sideways so you can sit on them and have space between - plastic bag or sheet on seat for no 1 or 2.

Depends on some amt to cockpit size and beam for the amt of space to manouver.

But for balance the simples ideas is to just buy and mount another paddle float. put paddl behind and If you use the concept that I talked about w/ the paddl e leash and put the balance on the person and not the yak, I bet you could even use a tight skin yak by leaning back keeping the paddl e loom horizontall w/ yr elbows etc as you pushed farther and farther back. Maybe even to turn sideways

see ya
