Michael Silvius: If the cockpit rim has enough over hang. How about a
fiberglass sail batten in a second separate cordura sleeve applied tightly
outside and underneath the cockpit rim to "define" the interior perimeter
of your cockpit. The sleeve could have laces or velcroed ends. The battens
are available at most marine stores, come in a full range of lengths, they
are cheap, (sorry inexpensive) and they are very bendy. The ones I've seen
run about inch and a quarter wide. That should stretch the "leg" of the "p"
profile and elevate your cockpit rim enough to allow sea sock and spray
skirt to fit together.
PS: Mr Moretti, I'm the builder of the blue decked Greenland stitch and
glue
pictured in the East Coast Skin Boat Gathering website from last june.
Site, and asociared folding boat archive comments I only just discovered
thanx to Gerald Maroske. I was pleased to see by your comments,( and my ego
accordingly boosted) that my boat was inspiration to you.
cheers: Michael
