: I think it would be easier to install and release your skirt with a sloped
: recess or downturn instead of going straight vertical. Just a safety
: thought.

any way to get a wider or more accessible recess would be better - the sloped downturns to your cormorant show how much better than if narrow recess w/ vertical downturn.

on the yak i'm building now, there will be one small area ea. side where the downturn will be vertical and recess narrow ( 1" outside rimlip). when mocking up when i get there i may have to revise - i may raise the lip or reduce the deck ht here.
