Deckridge.
Bow handle.
The rudder attaching system was simplified. Here the rudder horn before to be inserted in place. I have replaced the original wing nuts for locknuts. Note the new sloted holes.
Rudder horn inserted in place. The locknuts are adjusted exactly to permit sliping the horn but they aren't thigtening the horn. The horn is hold in place by the rudder hinge pin. The idea isn't original. I saw a similar method in some kayak manufacturer Internet site.
New method to place the seats.
Seat locked in place.
The added keelstrips. This strips were necesary for protecting the skin where it touch on the keel and chines.
