In Response To: Strip: Cockpit coaming/hip braces (Triad)

I have always attached the cheek plates or thigh braces at the top and bottom.

I believe that any advantage you may gain by making them an extension of the vertical part of the coaming would be outweighed by the problems that method would create.

Fitting them after the deck and hull are joined makes it easy to place them exactly where they need to be.
