Re: R: [foldingboats] PVC skin?

Stefano Moretti: 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.

Ralph Hoehn: Stefano, Volker's boats seem to be holding up the way he 
described it. He did run a reinforcing strip of cloth tape over the inside of 
the seam though, wich effectively isolates the seam from teh frame members.

Pointer missing? Volker's report is on the Amateur Folding Boat Builders' 
Corner (section of the PouchBoats.com forum). He indicated that we might get 
pictures put together in the course of the next week or so, at which point 
we'll put the bi-lingual version on the Builders Page fully fledged.
