<Jim Tynan wrote about problems getting his skirt bunji knot under the combing of his boat. Dave Kruger offered good advice on customizing the cord.> I like to keep the bunji cord on my skirts long enough to allow adjustment when using the skirt with other boats or with other paddlers. This is the main reason for having this type of skirt design. To help eliminate the problem of the knot, try undoing the knot, then slipping the ends of the cord through a short piece of vinyl or rubber tubing, about 2 inches long and just large enough in diameter to be stretched into a flattened oval by the cord. Tie a new knot in the cords at the other <stern> end of the tubing. The tubing should easily slip under your combing and hold the knot beyond the edge of the flange.
