It would be cool if it had a zipper so I can get into the cockpit
without removing the skirt.

I too would like to figure out how to add an opening. I had suggested
earlier that a dry bag type approach might work on a nylon skirt for
those skilled with a sewing machine. You can find inexpensive and used
skirts on Ebay. On thing you will discover is that a skirt can bake
your lower body in hot sunny weather. The air in the boat gets hot. For
this reason some people prefer to use a partial bonnet which keeps some
water out but does not seal the cockpit.
