I left out a good month of boat work, I just realized! Back in the summer, aside from putting decking on and putting the top on the cabin, we also did the coaming. This entailed milling some cedar from the property, installing some supporting pieces in the cockpit, then trying to bend the dang things enough to fit in place! And what is their place? As longitudinal pieces in the cockpit, that serves as both the backrest and the anchor for the aft decking.
We also tried wet towels...
Ooh, aft decking and coaming finished! Pretty. And what a nice curve!
