: I'm wondering if anyone has built the 14' great auk and bought a
: skirt or cockpit cover that fit well. From what I have found it
: looks like the size would be XL+ in a snap dragon, or 1.4 in
: Seals brand, but it would be nice to find out for sure before
: ordering over the internet since returning isn't so fun.......
: The finished cockpit is about 20 inches x 35 inches, with a 91
: inch circumference. I've also got a very similar size on my Yost
: Sea Cruiser since I widened the opening from the plans a bit to
: accomodate my chubby caboose....

Easiest way is to have a custom skirt made that fits. Not hard, just have to trace the cockpit and send them the drawing. Both Snapdragon and Seals offer this service, only very slightly more money, like $10. Exact info is either on their web sites or at their dealers.
