Hi Gordon
Brooks spray skirts come in sizes 1,2,3,4,? etc. They correspond to the length and width of the cockpit.
I think the finished size of the Guillemot is 29 1/2" ??
I have a full neoprene skirt and one with a neoprene deck and nylon tube.Both are 19"x33" They both work on cockpits smaller than 36".
As far as preference ?? On a warm day the nylon one opens up to allow some air to move and is cooler. The neo one sheds water a bit better.
Having used both for a couple of seasons I think I'll try making a custom one.I can't see why it couldn't be as good or better.
