: Check it out: I believe your

: Schade-style coamings so far. 3/4" above the deck is gonna be snug,
: actually, and 1" would make it easier to hook up the skirt.

I've used 1/4" lips on 1" tall coaming rings on three boats and have no trouble getting spray skirts to seat. The taller you make the coaming the more difficult and uncomfortable it is to do laybacks.
