Mark, thanks for your reply.
"I would say that you can get a neoprene skirt to work with a seasock.  It
is easier to have it stay on if the bungee in the skirt is exposed (not in a
nylon tube)."
Jim at Pygmy Boats also thinks this: "The sewn on bungee actually has a good
chance of working with the sea sock.  The problem is most common when the
bungee is run through a folded over tunnel.  The folded over neoprene is
what really prevents the skirt from gripping with the sea sock.  The sewn on
bungee is a lot less material to go around the coaming."
I suppose whatever arrangement is adopted needs a good implosion testing.
I'll get around to trying it in due course.
Cheers, PT.
