In Response To: Seeking: pre-fab coaming (fluidpaddler)

: Was wondering if there's a source to find prefabricated coaming. We
: are currently in design phase of a 6-man outrigger canoe. We are
: designing our cockpits to have a large kayak style opening to
: receive a splash skirt, that of a kayak. I was researching the
: Seals splash covers. We have to make six openings so if there is
: any info on this it would help us on time to have an option of
: some sort of pre-fab.

: Mahalo in advance.

You could try Pygmy kayaks in Washington state or Chesapeake Light Craft in MD. I got a 4 piece coaming from Pygmy for my current strip kayak. I am sure there are other wooden kayak companies that have them also.
