: As I was lashing beams earlier this evening, it occurred to me that
: I may have some difficulty finding a commercial spray skirt to
: fit the coaming I'll make next week. The distance from the front
: of the masik to the front of the beam behind me will be
: 21". That sounds about right for the Yost 22x16 coaming
: offsets. Outside dimensions on the rim would be 24x18. Most of
: the skirts I see advertised are sized to fit coamings around
: 28" long or longer.

: Any suggestions for an off-the-shelf skirt?
: Maybe just get what I can and let the extra fabric flap? ugh

: Eventually I'll probably make my own Tuilik and/or Akuilisaq, but
: I'd like to get on the water with a commercial unit initially.

: Thanks

: If plugging businesses is inappropriate, let me know and I'll

Hi Timt,
The Snapdragon extra extra small will fit. For no extra charge they custom made mine from a template I sent them.
Give them a call or email. www.snapdragondesign.com/
