Other: Spray skirt finished... *LINK*

Just finished my first spray skirt, using the directions at http://www.wwslalom.org/skirt/. The hardest part was trying to get the wrinkles out where the neoprene overlaps the bungie around the cockpit. I ended up making cuts, but it's on the inside, so isn't noticable.

I used one of those cardboard tubes used for concrete forms (bought at Home Depot for $5) as the form for the tower. They come in various diameters, which was nice. I need to trim the tower height down a bit, as it's a little high for my Guillemot Double.

One nice thing about having a 'Double' is that I get to make another spray skirt, hopefully better than the first one ;)
