: Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. After much layout wrangling, it
: looks like we're going to be able to get 6 coaming rings out of our
: 1/2" okoumé, though just barely. As long as the bow and stern plates
: are small enough that they can come out of 16x30" coaming scrap, we
: ought to be set.

: There are no set dimensions for these, but I think they are, aren't they?

: Anyway, once that's done, we'll follow the suggestion to find the nicest
: 1/4" non-marine ply we can, to use for the lip.

Good thing using the Okoume ply for the coaming. A side advantage is that it's often quite a bit lighter weight than most non-marine grade ply, so you can save a pound or two on this fairly substantial piece.
