In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: coaming and spray skirt question (Matt Essar)

: Hi,

: Working on finishing up my coaming following the Morris book. What is the
: point of the 3/8 strip on the inside of the coaming? I understand the need
: for the outside strip to hold on the sprayskirt but keep on scratching my
: head about the inner strip.

: Also, any suggestions for sources for sprayskirts to fit? I know about the
: brooks but wondering what other options exist.

: Thanks,

: Matt

Aha, looking closer, I understand now. It's 2 layers of 3/8 on the OUTSIDE of the coaming. Oops.

Thanks for the answers.
