: oh, yeah??(hehe) how abt june 1999:

Ouch!

: the dwg link is no good tho: http://www.merrickarch.com/mallen/cpdwg2.jpg

: this approach gets more marginal in narrower yaks in that a fair amount(2in
: plus of side space is used to make the ditch, meaning more vertical sides
: or with very narrow yaks, no room for ditch at all - it would resolve
: right to the sheer.

And avoid the ditch...not at all a problem for someone with a narrower yak, a wide bod, and fairly vertical or negative flare sheers.

: and lucky you're a slim guy.

On the Cormorant, yes. There was a lot of flare there, though, so just enough room to form the ditch. The 45º bevel strip at the sheer touches the recess downturns at the widest part of the coaming. Still haven't yet felt the need for a scupper.

: trouble in this case is the open contract betw owner and contractor!

Both are currently in negotiations with the property owner who is planning a garage sale on Saturday.
