Hi
Recently completed my first baidarka with Corey Freedman's help in Sept
2005. I'm in the middle of trying to outfit the cockpit to be suitable
for rolling and have plans for some touring. I am curious about padding
options for the cockpit and crossbraces. I've read a few archived ideas
on this list, but always better to learn from others successes and
mistakes.

Boat #1:

32# with Aleut paddle
21" by 16' 8"
Corey's design, but I did put small marine pulleys for packing gear at
both ends of the kayak
