Hi Reg,

Thanks for the quick answer. I think I'll try 4mm - I'll start with a cockpit cover.

You put on a great (and usefull) demo.

: Hi Matt,

: Three to five mil is good. Less than that I would overlap the seams and use
: only N-2 neoprene (nylon 2 sides), thicker than that may not fit under the
: coaming lip.

: Since completing that last skirt I have determined that a two inch oversize
: measurement would be more accurate than the three inches that I used on
: the demo.

: Good luck and feel free to contact me during the process.

: Reg
