Yeah my first skirt was an attempt at a greenland style skirt. It was probably poorly fitted and the cockpit on my last boat was huge, but either way it kind of turned me off of floppy fabric skirts. I borrowed a tuilik and really liked it, but I presently have neither the time nor money to make one.

I'm not super concerned about leakage, mostly this boat is just for warm weather play and rolling practice. If I want to do anything in colder weather (I do, but maybe after I trust my rolls a little more) I'll probably just make a tuilik.

What kind of neoprene cement to use? I'm under the impression that the better cements can provide most of the strength a seem needs by themselves.
