In Response To: Strip: Cockpit coaming/hip braces (Triad)

FWIW, I did exactly what you're suggesting with my Guillemot a couple of years ago and it worked out well. I did not attach the hip plates at to the hull but that would not be difficult to do with this technique (and I probably will with the next build). I've got fairly narrow hips and the cockpit as designed for the Guillemot gives me an appropriate amount of space but you can certainly adjust its size so there is room as you sit.
