R: [foldingboats] PVC skin?

[Stefano Moretti]

pointer is actually missing.

I think overlapping more is best if you sew, so that stitches do not fall
under the keel to be abraded.  A soft 3 mm neoprene strip over the stitches
inside might help also in having a tight skin while protecting stitches from
inside.  Asea sock, keeping sand outside of the hull adds even more to
abrasion reduction.
