: I'm thinking about building a stitch and glue cargo box. Something like the
: attached picture. Has any one tried this?

this is not a direct reply to your question - but IF you are a kayaker, why not just use the kayak?
- carries lots of gear
- cuts wind much better
- really useful at any places along the trip that has water (that sells me!)
- looks a lot nicer, too!

I don't bother with a ckpt cover, but just turn my sprayskirt upside down, tie off the top with 5 or 10 wraps of bungee and then put on yak right way up. Works fine even in driving rain at freeway speeds. I mainly use a small ww yak or just the central ckpt area of a seayak.
