A drawing is worth 1000 words. When I am finished with it I may 
send you some hand drawings.

I found out that is better not to have any holes. Very little water
or no water at all gets through the fabric. The problem I have in
my previous paddlefloat is that it takes about 6 seconds to drain
all the water out of it through the net, which makes it incredibly
difficult and heavy to paddle with it after a rescue.

I see that you have the right idea. :-)
