: The other day while looking at my Romany, it finally occurred to me that the
: coaming riser follows the shape of the cockpit cut-out, which includes the
: knee braces. This creates a deeper section on the coaming, which is
: something that I always thought should be avoided. So, I talked to a few
: other NDK owners and the consensus is that none of us have really noticed
: any leak problems because of this. Picture of a NDK Explorer below with
: the same type of coaming.
: So, that got me thinking and it seems to me that it would be easier to build
: knee braces into a cockpit just by cutting the cockpit opening shaped for
: knee braces, build the riser up, and add the coaming lip. There would be
: no issues with trying to figure out how to fiddle around later to get knee
: braces into the boat. I wish I would have thought of this earlier, because
: I would have tried it on my current build. I'm going to do this on my next
: build, a Siskiwit LV.
: Anyone try this before or have thoughts?
Ohhhhh....geez a little dense here tonight, now I know what you mean. Had never thought about that. I have friends that are constantly rolling their Romany's and they leak a little, I always assumed it came from the tunnel, maybe not. They read this too, at least one does, perhaps he'll chime in?
