: Is it possible to get one too? I'm intrigued to try this as I was looking for
: hard permanent cover a lot. Also how much weight it adds compared to
: traditional nylon skin?

Weights are very similiar though it depends on your skill with the glass. It's not any more difficult than glassing a strip or S&G boat though.

The covering manual will be delayed a bit, still recovering from the cold/flu and am having to start getting ready for the upcoming building classes at the same time. Soon though.
