Pam, I use heavy-duty cable ties, a pair of them, pulled bull-tight with pliers, on skirts where I need a low-profile way of securing the ends together. The spray skirt with this arrangement has survived about 6-7 years of use, to my surprise, so I guess it is pretty solid. Mark Goff's elegant solution is bombproof, I think, and would be even lower-profile. If the cable ties seem insecure, I'd go with his regime. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
