In Response To: Re: Strip: Coaming Lip Size (Rob Macks)

: I have also usually used a 3/4" space under the lip. I'm trying a
: 5/8" space on my current kayak.

: Remember, you want to be able to get that skirt back on easily in the middle
: of a storm, when you're
: tired and disoreinted after you've had to climb back into the boat after a
: rescue.

: You don't want to find out you made the space too small when you're in that
: situation.

If I'm not mistaken, he was asking about the depth of the lip, not it's height above the deck.
