: Heya, Bill...it's actually pretty easy to make your own spray skirt. I did
: that for my rebuilt kayak. I reshaped the cockpit opening so that my ex
: could get in and out of it more easily and had to make the skirt to fit. I
: used rolled newspaper scraps from the Edmonton Journal offices (they have
: a bin of scrap rolls at the door) and traced the opening onto the paper. I
: added about 1 1/2 inches extra and transfered the shape to some
: poly-whatever water-proof stuff. I then sewed the edges to make the
: support for the bungie tie. The tube was made in much the same way,
: measured my gut, cut the material allowing for the sewing, made another
: seamed edge at the top of the tube for another bungie and viola, a decent
: skirt was made. It worked well when I tested it out. I think that skirt is
: still sitting in the old garage along side the rebuild, collecting dust.
: Some day I will get both back (left her the rebuild: long story)...ain't
: nothing the ex can do with a kayak that isn't quite finished and I know
: sooner or later I will get it back.
