Strip: Coaming Height

I'm about to put on the coaming lip. I've read to make it about a 1/2" wide and 3/8" thick but nothing on how high off the deck it should be. I want it as low as possible, but still gotta get the skirt on there. Any suggestions? Its on a night heron with a cockpit recess if that affects the answer at all.

Thanks!
Damian
