The skirt looks pretty cool. I always get pretty wet, when the wind picks up a little. Would you mind sharing some instructions how to built this? Great vid... check out mine...
That skirt looks more effective than your previous ones, but also a good way to scoop up a wave! We are a Florida sailboat dealership, and just took on the Hobie line to get this boat. Too much fun! Can't wait to see the next version of spray skirt!
My wife made it from an original idea from a member of Kayak Fishing Stuff forum. This was our 3rd design, almost perfect. The forth (and final?) will close up the front to an angled edge \___
We've had them for a year and love them. I bought 2 and friends that tried them bought 2. We go out together once a week 3-4 AI's for about 6 hours traveling over 25 miles. One of the best parts is we ca go 4-6 miles off shore and if the wind dies, we peddle back in averaging 4mph. We've peddled back in 8' swell or 6' wind waves with little problem.
Designed to go 5-10mph, we regularly hit 10-14mph as a top speed each week and once in a while even higher. Well made and dependable, with good support from Hobie.
Is your wife still making the sprayskirt? Thx great video
