Duane funny you should bring up sewing.  I've been toying with the idea of
purchasing a sewing machine for repairs and possibly making skirts and other
paddling gear.  Does anyone have any ideas on a brand and model sewing
machine that could handle neoprene and  heavy nylon?
Duane, if you decide to instruct sewing classes sign me up!  I promise I
won't tell anyone.   Maybe we can put together some skirts and model them on
the cat walk, the "macho models".
