Well, it happened to me once. I was launching in rough conditions and slipped the skirt on then paddled away from shore. After about 10 minutes of paddling I wanted to adjust the back of my Creature Comfort seat and that's when I noticed the grab loop wasn't there.

It won't happen again though. I tye-wrapped a "whiffle ball" (plastic golf ball with holes) to the grab loop and it is flourescent orange. So, if I don't see that orange ball on the deck after putting on the skirt, I know I have a situation that needs to be corrected immediately. I think I read about that one on this forum. Glen.
