: Hi Jeff,

: The reason these things work is the huge outriggers (oars).

: Since there's no load on the fabric other than keeping splashes out
: of the boat, the 1.7 ounce Dacron should work fine. It's a bit
: fragile but works well and shrinks really well.

Oops, 1.8 ounce: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/dacronfabric.php
