I just wanted to mention: If you ever get caught under water with a tight neoprene spray skirt that won't come off or the grab loop is under the skirt , or you can't find it; grab the skirt to the side of you right where it goes from your waist to the flat of the cockpit shape and pull there. It will pop right off. Try it on land and you'll see how well it works even with winter gloves and a tight neoprene skirt.
