: 3/4" is ample. 5/8" will do. 1/2" is too tight.
: That's my experience, anyway. :-)

On other downside of having the coaming hight too low is the skirt will rub on the varnish on the deck every time you put it on or take it off, it'll end up with a ton of scratches on it requiring frequent revarnishing.
