Re-Outfitting an old Caper
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2013 7:48 pm
Hola Amigos Aquaticos,
I'm about to re-outfit an old Dagger Caper that has been sitting around collecting dust. It's got a saddle in it now, but the folks I'll be outfitting it for want it set up for tandem with seats as they will mostly use it on Class I-II around down on the French Broad, maybe it will make its way back to the Nantahala at some point....The boat is in really good shape actually, but isn't getting any use in its current set up, so I'm hoping to get it, and it's owners back on the water in some capacity.
I've got the seats and hardware here and ready to go. Here's my question:
-Is there any sort of rule or ratio to follow when setting up a tandem boat with webbing seats?
or
-Does anyone have any suggestions for spacing the seats from each other or from the ends?
-Any thoughts about a similarly sized boat (the caper is 14'4") that I can use to steal the spacing from?
Thanks y'all, any input would be much appreciated.
