ABSTRACT:
A breakaway cockpit for a kayak is disclosed which includes an egress opening (26) formed in a deck (12) of a kayak hull. An egress panel (28) covers the opening. A cockpit rim (16) surrounding the cockpit opening (14) of the cockpit (18) is interrupted so that a boater may escape from the cockpit through the egress opening. A rim (30) of the egress panel (28) and the rim (16) of the cockpit opening from a composite rim about the entire periphery of the cockpit opening. A sealing strip (34) seals the joint between the egress opening and panel against the entry of water and also assists in retaining the egress panel in place. The egress panel may be popped out by manual force in the event of an emergency so that the boater may escape the cockpit.
