In Response To: Re: Circular vs. angled coaming ends (Shawn B)

: This would be easy for an oval or circular coaming, but for Guillemots (and I
: think Redfish designs, too) that have pointed ends, it would be hard to
: wrap the lamination around the corner.

Yes, so I see after doing some coaming roaming. I wouldn't have thought this was desirable. What is your reaction to peaked coamings like this for wear and tear on the sprayskirt? Less leg room for raising knees?Or sea kayak entry butt first(assuming cockpit large) Less utility of knee braces? Less tension on the sides of the sprayskirt?
