John,
I made my sprayskirt by sewing it from a pseudo-goretex (ultratex). I
sewed a piece of the shock cord used for decking lines into the bottom and
a much finer strand around the chest. There are only two seams, but you
need to use a sewing machine or the seams will leak. Look at a
commercially made skirt for the basic seams. Be sure to leave extra
material for a full range of motion. I found that my boat is almost
completely waterproof when I roll it with this skirt.
You can buy the fabric from Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics:
http://www.owfinc.com/
After shipping and handling I bought three or four yards for 25 dollars.
They also carry all the other types of outdoor fabrics for other projects.
Regards,
James McNeil
