C-1 skirt

Post by CosmikDebris »

It's time to get a new skirt. I was wondering if anyone out there in the big wide world of C-boating had any suggestions as to an economical skirt for my Necky Witch? Anyone tried the Harmony skirt? Thanks,
will

The harmony is an OK skirt, but I LOVE my mountain surf kevlar skirt. Very dry, very custom sizing, great skirt. A little pricy though, but well worth it IMO.

whetstone

Been happy with two whetstone skirts, one a kevlar keyhole. He'll (small shop) do custom work, though my main skirt (kevlar keyhole) was off the rack. He's even offered to try making a proper stick (makes a decent kayak paddle).

They had a rough patch where they got slow and unresponsive, I think there was an illness in the family and a move. They seem to be back on track, though.

ps - happier with this than my Harmony, it was durable,but the design involved some stiffening rods along the sides, which I'm sure were meant to benefit kayakers, but only made it pop off for me easily when in certain boats
