THE QUESTIONS THAT KEEP COMING IN.

Does your tuilik fit my keyhole cockpit?

Probably, unless you have an XL cockpit. The tuilik stretches over keyhole cockpits. You may tie the bungee further toward the ends. The base model covers both ocean and keyhole styles.

Which coating for my kayak?

What tools do I need for kayak building?
