: Sean,

: Which Yost design is your craft please?

: I am at about the same stage with my Sea Cruiser as the craft in
: your pic [except for the actual coaming].

: Did you have the cockpit coaming made and available at the time you
: installed your deck beams? I am concerned at ending up with an
: unsightly bump/bulge in the skin (will be 9.8oz ballistic nylon
: + Corey's Goop) caused by the foredeck beams being proud of the
: frame at the fore end of the cockpit (Frame #3) and not
: "faired-in" with the coaming or coaming ring.
: I think now that I should have continued my deckbeams aft of Frame
: #3 to meet the as-yet-not-built coaming and/or left the
: deckbeams unglued until the coaming was there to check the
: fit-up.

: Sean, if you have a lengthy response with lots of pics then please
: email me at mcbunny09@gmail.com

: [Sorry Stefalo for hijacking your thread to some extent]

: Cheers from Martin Bunny,

The boat I built was the Disko Bay. It's a traditional design that was adapted for fuselage-style building by Dave Gentry.

I created a number of blog entries on the build process - starting with this one: http://justyakkin2.blogspot.ca/2011/06/distinct-possibility.html There's lot of pictures and stuff that may be of help to you.

I made the coaming after I had everything framed up.
