Alan,

I'm curious what weight PVC you got. I just got my 20 gauge PVC the other day and it's nearly as thick as the skin I put on my daughter's boat 5 years ago. I am building a Yostwerks Nikumi and helping a coworker build another design and he's concerned about the durability of the clear skin. I figure I built it, I can patch it or re-skin it whenever it's necessary, but having some data for durability might be nice to reassure him.
