Guillemot Coaming--I need a measurement

I have a favor I need to ask of a Guillemot owner:

Could you lay a straightedge on the coaming at the front center and back center and measure down (vertically) to the coaming at the side?

I'm planning to build my coaming riser with veneers rather than strips, and I need to know how much "dip" the coaming has so I can make a sufficiently tall coaming ring to allow for trimming down that "dip".

I don't have my cockpit recess stripped yet; otherwise I'd measure it myself. I wanted to get the veneers ordered so I'm not waiting for them.

Thanks, Shawn
