Ian, what was the build up of your coaming? Two layers of 3mm marine ply with something inbetween? How do your coaming halves come together? Just screw to the ribs or do they interlock first? Are those T nuts under the top of your cockpit ribs?
I'm possibly looking at replacing my bent aluminium coaming (scientifically constructed btw - bow end bent around the top of a large blue plastic food barrel, stern end used two swipes of a tube bender). I definately need to implement some form of thigh bracing and might require the smaller ply coaming to provide a mount point for foam blocks. Would you have any ideas based on your current setup for adding thigh braces?
Regards,
Scott
