In 2008 all Skylarks and Sandpipers have front and rear bulkheads instead of foam pillars. We feel this is an important upgrade in the safety of our recreational kayaks. All boats will now have full flotation in both ends. In the Skylark, access to the front compartment is through a 4 inch Beckson hatch. The Sandpiper has a 6 inch hatch access to the rear compartment and a 4 inch on the bow.
