RACHEL, Half inch PVC pipe is fairly flexible, and if secured at the bow and at the transom, it would easily bend to conform to the shape, Clarence ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rachel" <penokee@cheqnet.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 11:49 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: flotation

Rachel,
In addition to stringing your noodles on a line, why not try 1/2 inch PVC pipe for the straight segments. The line holding all the segments together could be strung through the pipe. I have a Montgomery 6-8 dinghy on order and plan to do this.
Hi Clarence,
Say, I'm not sure what you mean by this (guess I needed a thousand words :-). My noodles are 5' long, and the gunwales have a pretty constant curve, so there are no straight bits, to speak of.
I'm curious now though.
