In Response To: Re: Strip: More coaming questions. (Kudzu)

: For some reason I was thinking that the coaming should be flat. That is the
: top of the coaming should be on the same plane. I would rather ask an
: obvious/dumb question before messing up. I will just mark and trim this
: one down then.

: Just to make sure, the lip needs to be 1/2" wide or wider?

If you are using neoprine half inch would probably be enough on your small cockpit. I would go a little wider though, especially if you prefer to tow from your coaming.

If you look at Joe's pic he seems to have gone about three quarters on the lip.
