: I am going to construct a strip-built wood kayak. I am curious as to what the
: users of this board would incorporate into their 'ideal yak'. I am looking
: for ideas that would be built into the boat, rather than aftermarket
: add-ons. I mostly paddle coastal water and large lakes. One thing I had
: thought of is to add the hardware to adapt a sail rig (possibly the CLC
: rig). Thank all.

Under-deck rigging for a knee tube or bilge pump.

Internal tiedowns to secure water bottles, paddling jacket, thermos, hydration bladder, etc.

Super-comfy custom 'glass seat.

Deck rigging including running decklines and jam cleats.

Roller fairlead jam cleat for towline.
