[Public-List] Cockpit Coaming

[Bill Wallace via Public-List]

Do I understand correctly that the cockpit coaming is only a cover over fibreglass, and that the fibreglass actually meets/is closed behind the coamings?  I had always assumed there was actually a gap and that any water that flowed in behind the comings ended up in the bilge?  I have a newer boat, so I hope the answer is the same.

 Hey All,

Thanks to everyone for the responses...I can tell that when you combine the
words "exotic" and "boat" in the same sentence, that I'm in for a real
treat :-)  I assume I'm looking at about 500 - 600 for teak...I might start
looking at alternative species....

I was also drooling over some self-tailers last night...but with the engine
repair bill coming, those will have to wait.
