In Response To: Homemade neoprene sprayskirts (Ben Staley)

Seattle Fabrics has a free pattern for a neoprene sprayskirt with a neoprene tunnel. Their construction method would probably not allow for a non-neoprene deck though - you will see what I mean when you see the pattern. Ask at the desk and they will find one for you. I haven't made one yet, but plan to.

: I am wondering if any of you have tried making your own neoprene sprayskirt??

: My cheap coated nylon one lets way too much water in through the sleeve
: during rolling practice. I am having to pump a couple of gallons out of
: the boat after 20 or so rolls.

: I thought I might try a nylon deck and neoprene sleeve to keep the cost low.
: There is no way I can fit buying one into the budget for a while.
