We are headed up to paddle the Nahanni River in Canada's Northwest
Territories. The sources that I have found are consistent in
recommending a spray cover for the canoes on the Nahanni.

The boat belongs to my partner, but she doesn't want to spend the money
for a commercial spray cover, so I was going to make one.

Jacobsen in his book, Expedition Canoing, has plans for spray covers,
including a couple of variations. I was going to follow his
instructions, with some minor variations.

The issue at hand is how to fasten the spray cover to the canoe. As far
as I can tell, most of the commercial spray covers use snaps. Jacobsen
says snaps. However, a friend of my partner has told her that snaps are
awful and should be avoided.

Anyone with experience with canoe spray covers? How was your cover
attached to your boat? How did it work out? Anything else I should know?
