Matt,

If you add a brace under the gunnels, remember the map rack htat the Sea Wind has. A brace can do double duty there.

Thoughts on if an additional deck brace is needed for the cockpit? Think in terms of someone who might not get in and out the proper way.
It could be offered but it is not necessary , the deck is quite solid in the area of the paddler.

ok I got the drawings done. Working up multiple BOM options:

1) Glass everything, inside and out
2) Tape seams only
3) Glass exterior main hull only, tape interior and deck seams.

Will try and list the trade offs to the options.
