I would just like to add my .02 cents worth regarding sprayskirts. There are certain boats that are infamous for chewing up skirts. One is the Romany. I have seen even the most robustly designed kevlar-reinforced sprayskirts absolutely shredded after just a few weeks. Be sure to get in the habit of checking out your cockpit combing. Run your fingers around the edge and make sure there isn't any loose fiberglass or sharp edges. It's a good idea to take some sandpaper and run it along the underside of the combing to smooth out corners. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the punctures people are experiencing.
