Measure Your Own


A couple of recent sizing mishaps underscore the necessity of personally measuring your cockpit to determine your correct skirt size before you order a tuilik or akuilisaq. Don't take our "Skirt Index" measurements as gospel. Measurements are manufacturer supplied and occasionally outdated. Case in point -- the Necky Chatham Composite kayak, which we listed at skirt size 75, is actually an 80. Can't remember the circumference formula? Add maximum coaming Length and maximum Width (outside lip), then divide that sum by 2. Multiply resulting number by 3.14 (pi) for answer.
