In Response To: Seeking: Custom spray skirt source? (Will N 2 Go)

: Anyone actually have a custom spray skirt made? One that you're
: happy with?

: I've got an over sized cockpit, 38 x 20.5" and need a new
: neoprene skirt. (Yes I've seen the Rollordrown how-to. The cost
: of the neoprene I calc'd at over $60, so it didn't seem worth
: all the time it would take to make).

: 4-5 years ago I followed the links to all the custom sites but no
: one would even answer my query. I did find one that fit, but
: over time it seemed to shrink and will no longer fit. (I'm doing
: a time consuming and ugly repair/modification --which I'm not
: sure is going to work.)

: Thanks

: Will

I've had two custom skirts made by Seals and am happy with both. The other skirt places will do it too. Need to send them a tracing of the cockpit along with the place where you sit and the size of the tunnel. They are only a little more, like $10, over the price of a stock size skirt.
