[Public-list] Cockpit coamings

[Gail DeMoss]

On "Calypso", #543, the coamings had a rubbery backing that was pretty 
strong & sticky and that had to be dealt with for removal.  The coaming 
are almost forced into the space.  When they are removed the curve 
flattens and when you re-install the curve comes back.  Not so much 
brute force as just thinking it through.  Sort of like an iron bar 
puzzle.  But, it is much easier to work on them in the dry basement.

 Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
 that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.  So throw off the
 bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the trade winds
 in your sails.  Explore. Dream.  Discover.
