If you are wanting a yard to apply it for you then you might run into problems. Westport are pretty proud of their eco credentials so may not have any leeway on this. Strictly speaking, even if you apply it yourself it still needs to be legal in Canada but it's very easy to accidentally tear

The gap from a 24' to a 27' is much bigger than the gap from a 27' to a 30'. I looked at several 30-1 before getting my 27MkII and yeah, they are a bit bigger, but really you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference below (or above decks) unless you were already familiar with both. As it turns
