Ross,
If I remember correctly, The 38" glass was cut lengthways on a diagonal, but not from corner to corner. It was in from each end's 38" width about 8" This made 2 tapered pieces of cloth, about 8" on one end and 30" on the other. The narrow ends fit into the ends of the hull and the wide ends, the center. It was four years ago, so I don't remember exactly. This method reduced the 38" wide glass that would have fit the hull completely.
