I failed to mention the following in my original post... I'm considering 2 other Snapdragon skirt. First, the Supratex Sea Tour. It's the Ocean Trek but with a "universal" nylon tube. I should be able to use that in the heat of summer, and when wearing winter cloths... shouldn't I? Is it a decent choice? It's $100 and I'm having trouble finding it in stock anywhere. Second, the Snapdragon Sea Tour all Nylon Spray Skirt (Nylon deck and universal tube). It's only $60 and in stock at Rutabaga. The text says it's not for composite boats. I asked why, and they said composites have a sharper edge around the rim. My strip built boat has a blunt edge, so that shouldn't be an issue at all. Snapdragon says it's for "less demanding conditions". I imagine that it will implode easier and so forth, but my skills aren't such that I need a high performance skirt. I'm still learning to roll, and don't venture out in real rough conditions - just moderate conditions. Comments on these choices?
