What's a rand?

It's the WildWasser Baja Deck. It's made specifically for Prijon boats.
It's the cheapest model, though, at $56. Maybe I'll get better at
getting
it on, but for now, a third hand would be handy.

This is particularly problematic in Prijon boats. The Prijon coaming
undercut is the most shallow of all the plastic boats I've seen. I have a
Kodiak and use a Wildwasser spray deck made specifially for that boat. It
was hard to keep on. I cut off the neoprene flange that Wildwasser (used
to?) sew to the rand to reduce the amount of material that has to fit
under
the coaming. Then I went to the hardware store and bought some Shoo Goo
and
applied a thin layer all around the inside of the rand. Deck stays put
now
and does not leak.

I should add one more thing, this one a negative. I just got a spray
skirt and it's very difficult to get on and keep on. It keeps
slipping
off. It would be nice if the lip around the cockpit was more
pronounced so that the bungee could get a better grip.

That's fairly common with plastic boats. It's hard to get fine edge on
the
cockpit rim with a plastic layup. What kind of sprayskirt did you get?
Any
chance of returning it and finding one that fits better? BTW, if your
skirt
is neopreme try getting it wet before putting it on. If it's slipping
off
on the sides, the skirt may just not be wide enough.
