	Deck & Coaming
		The pencil line is the trim line, the coaming will be cut to this line when the tape has been applied and the epoxy cured.
		The coaming has been trimmed on top of the deck, the new glass reinforcement was scraped and sanded, the whole deck was sanded and washed to remove amine blush, and the first fill coat has been applied.
		The coaming has been trimmed to it's final shape around the outside, and close to final shape on the bottom.

	If n' When II, Coaming
		With both the coaming and the hatch seals, I've used his techniques as a basis and then modified to work with other features I wanted to include.
		I masked off the area about the coaming, and then hot glued florist's foam to the tape.
		The Saran Wrap serves as the parting surface for the epoxy after the coaming lip is cured.

		The two side coaming pieces, which run from the front of the cockpit to the transom, were tapered their last two feet.
		Next, he would grab the coaming at the front of the cockpit and bend it until it was in postion, flush with the edge of the decking.
		The final steps in the coaming installation process were to fillet the coaming/deck joints with peanut butter and to use the router to round-over the underside of the decking below the coaming.

		The wood strips are finished with bright varnish and the hull and coaming are painted a variety of colors.
		Position the coaming, mark the glue line, and bond it to the deck using thickened West Resin.
		The coaming and seat components are formed in female tooling similar to the hull, and prepared the same.

	* Coaming - (Boating): Definition
		Coaming A vertical extension above the deck to prevent water from entering the cockpit...
		The traveler is a fixed triangle of line, using the stock blocks on the rear deck and a hook inside the coaming to hold the knot where the two ends come together.
		Coaming- The short protective wall that surrounds the cockpit or hatch.

	Folding Kayak Builders Manual - Free Standing Coaming
		Both the wood and fiberglass coamings can be attached with Velcro on the inside edge of the coaming.
		This also allows use of the coaming without a base plate, though a temporary base plate is used for construction only.
		Due to it's narrow profile, the wood coaming is free standing and uses no machine screw connections as are used with the HDPE and fiberglass coamings.

	Coaming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The coaming was made from 1/16 inch thick veneers of P. mahogany which were laminated together around the form, (the largest in the photo) then cut on a band saw to make the various parts needed.
		A laminate with the same dimensions as the coaming lip was epoxied under the deck.
		The edges of the deck were sanded to contour the mating surface with the coaming vertical part, sealed with epoxy and allowed to set-up, then the vertical part of the coaming was epoxied to the deck and the under-deck parts.

		Below are drawings of the existing platform off the starboard coaming for tending the sheets.
		This is how the existing coaming is attached to the fiberglass as well, with a bead of non-permanent sealant at the joint with the deck.
		The Antal winches require the sheet entrance to be between 2 and 10 degrees from the horizontal.

	ADA Access to Passenger Vessels: Finding Safety Equivalence Solutions for Weathertight Doors with Coamings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The basis of the guidance is a characterization of the hazards and risks addressed by the coaming regulations, resulting in adjusted layouts that eliminate the coaming requirement for at least one door, providing the desired access to passenger accommodation areas.
		It may be appropriate to replace the weathertight door with coaming with an improved access doorway, for example, a weathertight door with a coaming of reduced height, and protective drainage.
		It may be appropriate to replace the weathertight door with coaming with an improved access doorway, for example, a weathertight door with a coaming of reduced height, and the Flying Cloud drainage detail.

	RoguePaddler - Building the Ultimate Expedition Kayak
		I had already built the vertical rise of the coaming, so all that was needed was to trim it to the proper height and form a mold for the lip.
		By adjusting the tension of the tape, the angle at which I attached the tape to the deck, and the thickness of the foam, I could control the shape and angle of the coaming lip all the way around the cockpit.
		Afterward, I used a block plane around the outside of the coaming lip to plane the lip down to the approximate width I desired.

	Greenland-Style Tuiliqs
		It cinches around the coaming and under the paddler's armpits and is held up by a pair of shoulder straps.
		For the coaming of a modern recreational kayak, the hem of the tuiliq is drawn tight around the cockpit coaming with a bungie cord.
		In Skinboats of Greenland, he relates the experience of Peter Petrussen who, as a young kayaker, was embarrassed by the length of the tuiliq sewn for him by his mother: "It looked too much like a girl's skirt." The latest fashion (in the early 1900s) had been toward shorter tuiliqs.

	Building the Oneida's Hatch Coamings
		Hatch coamings, companion ways, skylights and other deck openings are all built the same way.
		The corners of the coamings are fitted together with a lap joint and not with a 45 degree like fitting a frame.
		When gratings are used in the coaming a small ledge is added to the inside of the coaming.

	Coaming Box, Precision 23 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The only problem with the boxes is that they do not drain.
		Because the P-23 collects water on the starboard side the one coaming box now holds a sponge to wipe out the boxes and the seat.
		Last year the coaming boxes were in the West Marine catalog.

		Holes are cut into the coaming to accommodate the coaming pulleys, with the chrome flange mounted on the outside.
		The coaming pulleys should be located so that the cables run parallel to the dash when threaded through the pulleys.
		Thread the cable through the coaming pulleys and steering pulleys, and clamp to the tension springs.

	Cockpits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		This picture shows a coaming in a partially constructed boat where there is a wide enough seat-back to sit on, but the winches would still be mounted low.
		In this case, all of the volume inside the coaming is accessible from the cockpit.
		An alternative approach is to have the forward part of the coaming sealed from the cockpit, and have access to it from inside the aft cabins, creating a dry locker.

		Or, put another way, consider the cabin trunk to just be a covered portion of the cockpit coaming, with the coaming sweeping around the forward end of the cockpit.
		Because the ultimate shape and width of the cabin trunk is integrally tied to the shape of the cockpit coaming, it follows that the width of a comfortable cockpit well and seats is a substantial deciding factor in the overall shape of the entire deck plan.
		Here I was attempting to create a line that would have a pleasing shape from all angles, a line that would fair smoothly and imperceptibly into the strong curve of the cabin trunk shape, and one that would artfully follow, though not parallel, the curve of the hull.

	Frank's Weekender Project - Making the Splash Coamings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		I started with the starboard side coaming, laying the phillipine mahogany stock on the deck and marking the curve of the cockpit seat back on it from underneath.
		A small coaming will extend all the way around the cockpit, just 3/4" high (which is the size of the end of this coaming.) Once I was satisfied with the coaming on the starboard side, it was time to duplicate it for the port side.
		The coamings were then disassembled and the first layer was glued to the deck using stainless screws and epoxy thickened with maple wood flour.

	ECCOMINGS
		The coamings are now in the process of applying 5 coats of Sikkens Marine Light and 5 to seven coats of Sikkens Gloss.
		While the coamings were held in place with two boards/jacks I drilled through the coamings and fiberglass for 6mm (1/4-inch) flat head SS bolts.
		Also - the original EC winch was held in place with five screws through the coamings into the side of the winch block and there is also a large bronze bolt that runs right down through the winch, base and deck with a 3/4 backing block under the deck.

		These coamings consist of a lower portion, which provides the height, and an upper portion, which provides the outer lip to hold the shock cord of the skirt.
		The center of this pattern is used to mark the cockpit cut-out on the deck; the pattern itself is used to mark the concentric rings for the coaming.
		Clamp and glue the lower coaming section to the deck using the same registration nails, and use the same procedure for the upper portions of the coaming, except for the nails which shouldn't be used for the top layer.

	CBA Discussion Board: Beetle cat boom crutch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The boom crutch is attached to the transom coaming by two wooden brackets.
		Both brackets have detached from the coaming, damaging a piece of the coaming.
		I'm sure I can fix this up (possibly by reinforcing the coaming and bolting the brackets to it), but I'm new to Beetle cats (there are none around where I sail--Bay Head, NJ) and am curious whether this is the accepted way of securing the crutch.

	FishyFish My Tolman Skiff Project
		I put a piece of plywood on the stringers to act as the normal deck and attached my sample piece of side decking and coaming.
		Testing the set up proved to me that it was a good idea to have the wider side decks aft of station six.
		Decided that the coaming sample I made up above wasn't tall enough on the section underneath the shelf cap.

	Coaming Winches (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Putting the sheet winches back on the coamings requires a little sheet routing effort but is not too difficult.
		To make the necessary sheet angle adjustment to a coaming winch, a block needs to be added at the base of the cockpit stanchion and either a block or rub rail to turn down to this block.
		The swivel cams in the picture above had replaced the regular cams near the companionway but no longer used for the jib sheets after the coaming winches were installed, they were moved outboard near the stanchion base and are now used to cleat the "twings" which adjust the jib sheet angle.

	Baidarka Instruction Manual
		The upward bend of the tubing was done by putting plywood over the coaming ring and having my son stand on it, then slowly bending it upward a little at a time till it met the drawing....
		Attaching the skin to the hatch coaming is not tricky although it is a bit time consuming.
		I cut it at the top and then attach the rope around he hatch coaming with a barber poll type stitch using the top holes of the coaming and putting the fabric in between the metal and rope.

	Building the Oneida's Skylights
		By using the same material used for the ledges a frame work is built on the coaming.
		In reality the coaming would be set in place on the beams then iron pins run through the corners and into the beams.
		The coamings are also pinned to the carlings.

		With the decking and coaming completed it was time to sheath the deck with fiberglass and epoxy.
		By covering the coaming it will resist dents and scrapes and stand up to more wear and tear, not to mention increasing the strength of its attachment.
		The fiberglass was wetted starting at the base of the coaming and epoxy was worked into the cloth moving towards the clamp with an autobody squeegee.

	Removing the Coamings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The port coaming has two screws which are inaccesible from underneath the deck.
		My solution was to use a cutting wheel on a drill to cut thru the bottom of the coaming where the screws entered.
		I would have preferred to avoid cutting into the coaming, but the two small slits shouldn't be very noticible after I refinish the board.

	W.P. Stephens - Aprons
		The simplest form of apron, and one especially adapted to the pointed coaming, is a cover of cloth, cut to the shape of the coaming and turned down on the edges, to button over screw heads in the latter, near the deck.
		An extra wire (k) is attached to the framework, forming a coaming on the after end of the apron, and a wooden coaming also runs across the after hatch.
		This back may be used at any point desired, being independent of the well and coaming, and the angle of the back may be changed at will, while it is easily folded and stowed away when not in use.

	Wooden sea kayak Shop 15 - cockpit coaming construction from carbon fiber
		There are many ways to build a coaming, such as lamination of thin strips, steaming and bending wood around the rim or making the whole thing out of one piece of plywood.
		The piece in the photo is bias cut (45°) to conform to the sharp compound curvatures of the coaming.
		The jagged edges are trimmed for safety's sake and also for the coaming to slip over the cockpit rim with ease.

	Redfish King, Carbon Fiber Cockpit Coaming
		The cockpit coaming was formed before the deck was removed for sanding and glassing on the inside, but it seemed more appropriate to me to create a page specific to building the cockpit coaming and thigh braces.
		I removed the coaming from the form the next morning.
		While I was laying up the coaming, I also molded some material for the thigh braces to be added.
