    The first thing I teach new students is how to remove the spray skirt by 
pushing down and out with their palm on a flat part of the coming. This will 
create a wrinkle in the fabric of the skirt that they can grab to release the 
skirt. It also helps me sleep at night without too much worry about *my* 
students drowning because of entrapment.
