How to Build a Hovercraft Skirt Segment Part 1 of 4:The Basics with Dan Turnbull. @diyhovercraftlab

Hi everyone, and welcome to Hovercraft How To Hub! In this video, Dan Turnbull will be kindly showing you how to make a basic skirt segment for a hovercraft. This design can be adapted for everything from racing hovercrafts all the way up to cruising models.

Dan has been involved in hovercraft racing for decades, and what he’s sharing here comes from years of experience—trial, error, mistakes, and learning the hard way. His knowledge is gold, and I’m really excited to bring it to you.

This is the first part of a four-part series all about hovercraft skirts, so stay tuned for the full breakdown over the next few episodes.

A huge thank you to Dan Turnbull and his wife Nikki for their incredible hospitality, and for taking the time to film this with me—it really means a lot.

And if you’re interested in getting into hovercrafts yourself, definitely check out the Hovercraft Club of Great Britain. You’ll find loads of helpful info, support, and events.
