The springy material should be narrow strips, in my view, placed on the leg
of the P to keep the coaming + leg of the p assembly from becoming an "o".
Get the idea ?? Perhaps narrow strips of aluminum (but metal is not my
choice here) or even strips of very thin glued plywood (aircraft type) mught
fit the need. Some brains stroming here is needed...
My sea sock (I've never seen one, so it's just from descriptions that I've
sewn my own) has a shock cord, 5 mm, around the rim. The cord is spliced so
there are no bumps. Stretchable flat material is an idea actually, There is
a rubbery non slip coated material which is meant to be sewn on women
panties (like self-hold up garters...) and is sold where buttons, fabric,
thread etc are sold.
You may want to try it. It takes less space than the shock cord (stretched
this is about 3.5 mm.
Let me know.
PS what a beatiful kayak you have !! great job also in re-skinning. Maybe
after launching mine we can convene somewhere in Europe ?
