ABSTRACT:
An improved kayak includes a frangible cockpit area which cracks or breaks, and is easily torn, when the kayak is subjected to a wrapping situation. Use of high elongation material in the hull and in the bow and stern areas of the deck present a strong resistance to breaking at these areas when the kayak is subjected to normal stresses. Use of relatively lower elongation or more frangible material in the cockpit deck area produces as controlled, predetermined area of preferred breakage during wrapping or similar stress situations without decreasing the kayak's overall resistance to breakage in normal use.
