How frequent was the velcro? Say 3" strips every 6" or is that too much. Great idea about boarding seas but should that happen I"m already not where I want to be. One boat here uses wire ties and I don't know what it takes to break one of those too. Curious. I think I'll wait til the am to begin sewing. Have it cut out and ready and can use either gromets or the velcro idea. Great ideas thoughts.
