R: R: [foldingboats] Re: Coaming+ sea socks
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 ?

On the coaming, under the coaming or on the sea sock? I just heard feathercraft have changed their sea socks. Around the coaming, there is now a stretchable, neoprene like material, providing a more snug (???) fit. Would that be of benefit to you? # Foldingboats Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside Foldingboats or Foldingboats archives without author's permission Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscriptions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] #

Stefano: 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. Stefano, Where should that rubbery-springy material sit?

Ralph Hoehn: What if you were to add a spacer to the coaming reinforcement sections (tube, flat aluminium, whatever), Stefano? ID same as existing rim, OD slightly less, to allow for spray skirt / sea sock attachment. Whether the coaming is 5 mm, 15 mm, or 25 mm thick, surely makes little difference for packing purposes.

Re: R: [foldingboats] Re: Coaming+ sea socks
I believe it was the june 2000 foldingboats forum archives that had it. Let me see if I get this right. http://people.ne.mediaone.net/jkolsen/gather2000_rehash.html Im not sure if this will hyperlink. Im sory to admit that I am not up to speed on the technology. cheers: Michael -- From: E K [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: R: [foldingboats] Re: Coaming+ sea socks Date: Monday, January 08, 2001 7:57 PM Hi Michael, Can you post the web address of the East Coast Skin Boat Gathering website? I don't think I've seen it.

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 -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: R: [foldingboats] Re: Coaming+ sea socks Date: Monday, January 08, 2001 12:52 PM Stefano Moretti: To follow up, in my nautiraid, I have added a sea sock.
