: Sprayskirts for the pygmy tern 14.

: Can anyone recommend a few simple skirt options that would fit a tern 14? I
: found a thread discussing this last September, but I think many of those
: answers assumed the tern 14' had the same size cockpit as the tern 17' -
: it does not.

: Thanks for the advice - In my location, I will need to buy mailorder so
: appreciate the feedback greatly.

: While I'm on the subject - I am coming from a Klepper with the big open
: cockpit. I'm assuming that even on mild water a sprayskirt is *required*
: on something like the tern because it is so much lower in the water -
: right?
I bought a neoprene skirt from Pygmy for my Tern 14. The skirt was made by Brooks. I was not happy at all with the fit of the skirt around the tunnel area. The tunnel was designed for someone with a 40+ waist. The people at Brooks sent me some scrap peices of neoprene so I could make some alterations. I would not buy the skirt from Pygmy. I think you will enjoy paddling this boat with a skirt. It's fun to do leaned turns and put the boat on edge. It will also let you paddle in open water where conditions can change fast and be unpredictable. This boat will allow you to advance your paddling skills and a skirt will be needed to do this. Have fun and be safe.
