I like the low back deck 'feel' when paddling, and I have dropped the back of the coaming even further than designed to get a flat side profile for the coaming, which I think holds the sprayskirt more securely (than a coaming with a curving or 'S' profile).

Just to be clear:
I got this idea about the flat profile from Bjorn Thomasson.
