To follow up, in my nautiraid, I have added a sea sock. The problem is when
you fit in it and sit, it has a tendency to pull the rima down making the
second - sprayskirt - installation even more a fuss. Some kind of
rubbery-springy material to keep the rim partially lifted would be most
wellcome.
People on the list: squeeze your minds..
To Ralph: have no idea when >I will launch, but hope - and cross fingers -
for before april. Still battling with PVC skin welding (tried rigid pvc glue
did not work for me at all...)
