[Public-List] Cockpit Coaming

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Please excuse the general mess in the pic, I had just gotten done with
removing the coamings, the winch is just sitting there on deck with the
sheet wrapped around it as a "model" to see if the lead will still be
correct if I choose to go "commando"...looks like I need to bleach out the
lifeline cover too :-)
