I was thinking for my next kayak of attempting a longer slightly wider
folding Yost model with a longer cockpit for which there would be two covers
and configurations.
One a one-man cowling and the seond a two man. A sort of Klepper/Yost. I
have no idea if any such designs already exist, or if it is even feasible.
I'm sure something would work, but no one wants, 'Well, its not too good as
a single, but it can quickly convert into a not very good double.'
