I sat it down on the floor the other day and tried to slip in. I found without a coaming it's a real tight squeeze. My knee caps get caught on the masik and my heels on the ribs. But, with a lot of wiggling I got in and more important got out. I have a 5-3/4" deck height aft the coaming and plan to make the coaming 3/4", that's an 1-1/8" lower than last time. I think I'm going to finish the wood before I tie it this time to avoid the leaching of the tar from the line I got from Bob for the frame, so the trial runs not far off!

Does anybody know if george got the 9 oz cloth back in stock yet?
