Are you talking kayak or canoe?

For kayak spray skirts there are a couple of good sites out there on how to do it.

If you want a neoprene skirt, Duan Strosaker has instructions on how to sew one:

And here's one that requires no sewing. It uses neoprene glue:

I've tried both methods and the glued neoprene method is by far the easiest.

My wife has sewn spray skirts for me using polyurethane coated nylon and these have also worked very well.

http://www.seattlefabrics.com has every cloth imaginable for such a project. http://www.aleeda.com has the least expensive neoprene sheets around, at $45 a sheet.

This is for freedom by Jem( a 15ft 4inch kayak) but I modified the cockpit a little.
Thanks for the sites
