The bracket represents the skirt filled with air and the 'I' the side of the
craft. A mitre doesn't work because it removes material. I need to add
material. The skirt has to retain the (I shape around the right angled turn.
I hope this helps. ..........


HMMM -- DARTS -- maybe darts are what you need, do you think? First off,
do you know what I mean by a dart? A section of fabric that is V shape -- you
put the two sides of the V together and sew along the lines. This makes the
edge of the fabric (up there where the sides of the V are sewn together)
smaller than the body of the fabric (down there where the point of the V is)
and allows for going around curves. It's what is used to form a garment to a
womans bust area. I could see putting darts at the top and the bottom of the
"skirt" so that you could make the turn around the corner of the boat and still
have the fullness through the middle of the fabric area. IF it's darts you
need, I have no idea if a few large ones would be better than a bunch of
smaller ones -- that's probably something that would be based on the air flow
dynamics of the hovercraft.
If you get a pic online, be sure to post and let us know OK? You guessed I
