In Response To: S&G: srayskirt for tern 14 (Scott)

I have a Tern-14 and for a spray skirt I just ordered one directly from pygmy, their website shows the different ones available, I couldn't find a label on mine so I don't know who made it.

Paddling here in Florida (mostly rivers and mangrove swamps) I find I don't really need a spray skirt other than to keep paddle drips off my lap. In fact I bought a universal fit front-only skirt. At 150 lbs and in small to no chop, cockpit flooding is a non-issue.

When I'm in colder water or bigger wind and waves I use the full skirt, but I never experienced anything to make me say "Glad I had the skirt"
