: My thought is that regardless of the building technique, the coaming lip

That has been my thought until recently. It just doesn't seem to be an issue with NDK boats which all have inversed curves at the knee braces. Doesn't make sense, but there it is.

The knee braces on your kayak are fantastic. How exactly do you do those?
