[Paddlewise] Bought an old Klepper

While I love my British boat for it's sleekness, I actually bought an old
Klepper yesteday for a couple hundred dollars. I'm so excited - no sewing
or knitting this fall, just glues and epoxies! I loved running ten day
trips in them in the eighties in Baja, and have always wanted one. I
finally pulled out Ralph's Folding Kayaker and read the repair section
today. 

The worst of it (and I want to hold off buying a new skin for
awhile) is where the blue canvas has departed from the grey hull. What is
the cool fix for that?

The wood and fittings are mostly in great shape, so I want to do the skin
first. 

Looks like it needs new keel strips and stuff, but I have a long history
in raft repair and patching even Klepper hulls.

Then I'll need a sail.....and I'll be all set!
