In Response To: Re: Traditoinal style coaming (Aaron H)

: It depends on which tradition we're talking about ;)

: Greenland, Canada - coaming is attached to the skin only, skin is pulled
: under and sewn to the inside

: Alaska - coaming is lashed to the frame (sometimes with supports between the
: coaming and gunwales at the middle of the coaming) the skin pulled over
: over the top from the outside

: There are probably exceptions to the above, however...

Well I finally broke down and ordered Harvey's book, once it shows up and I have a chance to actually read it, I should know more about this :)
