Re: [Paddlewise] Sirocco sprayskirt

Hello Woody,

Sorry to hear you're having problems. SnapDragon made two expedition 
skirts for me in the last two months. One for a new Arctic Hawk, and one 
for an older Hutchinson Ice Floe. The Hawk was easy as it's well known but 
the Ice Floe was a problem. The most foolproof advise I can offer is to 
call SnapDragon and explain your problem. Not cheap or convenient from 
Japan but.........They don't sell direct to consumers, at least not in the 
States, but will send it to your dealer.

 If they don't have a stock one or you want to be absolutely sure it fits, make a template That's what I did with the Ice Floe. 4 
length measurements and 4 widths at various points measured to the outside 
edge of the combing, on the template. It took a week for them to do it and 
get it down to my dealer in CA. Fit perfectly. 

I didn't order through the dealer though; I ordered direct, then told the dealer to expect it. Goes a lot faster that way

Good luck,

Anyone out there have a CD Sirocco and can recommend a neoprene or
neo/nylon sprayskirt that *fits*?

I'm stationed in Japan and working with a dealer about 12 hours south in
Tokyo. The medium Tech Tour snapdragon skirt he sent with the boat
didn't come close to fitting. The large he sent *almost* fits, and I've
lost faith in his ability to provide me with one that does. The large
Tech Tour skirt has an adjustable elastic rand, but the neo deck is not
cut quite wide enough for the elastic to fit properly under the coaming
just in front of the tunnel.

So if you have a good recommendation on a skirt you know fits, and stays
on well, please email me direct:

Thanks in advance,

Woody
