Dave:

I will be bringing the fabric up under the inside of the coaming and stitching it to the coaming via holes - as per a somewhat tradtional method. The plywood I'm using is very dense and there are no worries of voids so stitching should not be a problem. If I add the plate, the fabric will simply go over the plate but do I need to attach the spacer to the plate - or can they be left separate?

Sean

: I suggest making a mock-up of a side, with some scrap, and putting
: some body weight on it, to check its strength. The baseplate
: that you plan to omit adds a lot, I think . . . .

: How do you plan to attach the skin to the plywood coaming?
