??!! sounds like you had few difficulties, and enjoyed building your boat. On the two pygmys I built I decided to build up the coaming rings at the front and back before installing the coaming. I liked having less of a sharp ridge at those places of the coaming.

On a related subject of product identification, the ocean is pretty big. have fun paddling
