: 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.
I think your idea would work, but would it be crazy to use velcro? How waterproof does the connection really need to be? I've never wet exited a SOF, but it seems like you'd only be concerned with the time between capsizing and righting the boat, and that not too much water would seep through the velcro. Just a thought....
