Re: [Paddlewise] Spray skirt advice

I have three skirts that I use(d) on my CD Gulfstream. The first is an el
 cheapo nylon skirt that was given to me when I bought the boat. It leaks>
like a sieve and puddles a lot.

 The 2nd skirt is a Wild Wasser all nylon with an implosion bar and a pocket
 on the deck. I had Wild Wasser tighten it because the dealer gave me the
 wrong size skirt to start. They sold me a super keyhole size and my cockpit
 is a standard size. It works very well, but does leak a little in surf. I
 use it on hot days when the water only cools me off.

 I also use a Snap Dragon neoprene deck with a nylon tunnel and it keeps me
completely dry in surf. There is NO sag or puddling on the deck.

 Is your skirt the correct size for your cockpit or is it just stretched out
and worn out?

 I would buy either the Wild Wasser or Snap Dragon again in a heart beat.
