Hi Bryan,

Tt's why the skin boat I'm building has a keyhole cockpit, which isn't on Tom's plans, slight mod to his plans. I've got an almost new skirt and cockpit cover from a previous boat that isn't being used right now. Also allows this old bod to fit into this tiny boat, and have a chance to get out when I roll it and my wonderful roll doesn't work (as per usual) .
