Oh great. I tell you that I have a fear of closed cockpit boats, that
I hope to address this fear by padding out among the islands here in
HK in open water, and you tell me that you imagined that this boat
would SINK??

Just what I need to worry about! g

As I recall the thing has internal sp*ns*ns. I think you blow them up
to "add to the rigidity" of the boat or somesuch nonsense. The thing
is supposed to be pretty unsinkable, but don't take that as a
challenge. It also has a really big cockpit, it isn't like a hard
shell kayak at all. It also comes with an unconditional guarantee
that if you ever lose your life in it they will refund the complete
price, no embarrassing questions asked. (You don' need no stinkin'
floatation...)
