: Mike and Dave,

: I've read your article (Mike) as well as all information I can get
: my eyes on. I've emailed George Dyson. Now I just want hear
: other people's opinions and experiences before making a final
: decision on skin and coating. As a first time builder (and as my
: husband would attest to a little obsessive) I want to be sure
: I've explored all the avenues. :^)

Initially I assumed you were looking for the standard coverings, but if you're really looking for all the avenues, you might consider Bill's fiberglass over dacron option. Light, tough, permanent. More involved than a nylon/urethane coating but it doesn't need replacement later.
