G'Day,
	A friend and I between us have both kinds of skirt (as singles), These were
bought several years ago. IMO both types have advantages and disadvantages.
The tuckunder (non velcro) skirt withstands surf better while the velcro
version makes it much easier to carry out a self rescue in moderately rough
conditions - easier and quicker to slide into the cockpit. Don't know about
the double.

All the best, PeterO
