While returning from the grocery store this morning a truck passed me with a really good looking wood kayak on the top of it.
You know me, When he stopped at the Econ to do some paddling I pulled in next to him.
The paddle is Kyle and he made a Shearwater Kayak from CLC and as I found out .... a lot more wood boats.
He came up with a novel way to do the hatch on his boat, no straps, no tie downs just a clean deck and with a hatch. His system is called the MOBY Latch ... Here is an explanation and then pictures of the construction.

I gave Kyle one of my southernpaddler cards and asked him to check us out , I didn't warn him about Kayak Jack , just said all of us are slightly nuts , especially about wood boats. :lol:
