RICHARD,
<RE:Just another thought--what do you think of wrapping the skin around the
<hatch tube and sewing it underneath the tube, thereby competely covering
<the tube? Or sewing the skin where it abuts the tube by wrapping the
<string around the tube and through the skin vs. sewing through the coaming
<holes?
I think you might run into problems with wrinkles and have to put darts in the
inside of the cockpit fi you use this method. Maybe not... I do think you
should experiment with this first though as a mistake could cost you much
labor....
Let us know if it works..
