Over on the QajaqUSA forums, Bill Samson pointed out this guy's blog: http://kajakkspesialisten.blogspot.com/

He set up some system where the sea sock's attached to the kayak by zipper (presumably waterproof). So far, I haven't heard how he did it. When I get the frame of my SOF built, I plan on doing something similar... just haven't figured out the details yet. Maybe sewing one side of the zipper to the coaming at the same time as the skin?

: I'm wondering if it would be possible to attach a sea sock to the
: inside of a combing with another piece that would trap the cloth
: between to rims. Thinking about the circular frames used for
: needle work. The inner ring would have some means to expand it
: to fit tightly inside of the combing's inner diameter.

: I have a F1 which has a minimal rim on the cockpit. If I expand the
: rim to hold on the sock I will have to buy/make another skirt.
: If I don't enlarge the surface to hold the skirt and sock on it
: seems like it will not be very secure.

: Think it might work?
: Any thoughts on a workable waterproof cloth for the sock. I was
: thinking lightweight nylon with something much heavier to
: reinforce the areas that would be contact points--pegs and seat.
: Again thoughts?

: Thanks, I' d rather have you shoot me down without having a pile of
: material on the workshop floor.
