Very nice! I really like the skin look of that skin.

: Some of you might remember my boat- the one with the hull twist. I've managed
: to fix this - replaced both gunwales and the hull twist was gone. The skin
: is polyester with oil based finish (I've tried some paints to get the
: translucent effect). Deck is clear still.

: The boat performs very well as far as I can tell (I'm a beginner in
: paddling). Unfortunately I've managed to get capsized in the waves and
: after my wet exit the boat was full with sand (especially in the edges) -
: someone to give an idea how to clean this? I'm afraid that this will
: damage the skin from inside.
