Half finished Curlew

Before I built my first SoF kayak the coaming installation had me puzzled.  Probably because it was just so simple.  Leave your deck stringers long into the space where the coaming will go until you are done lashing.  Then lay your coaming in place and mark the stringers inside the coaming where they are too long.  Keep in mind when cutting not to cut to far so as to remove the support for the coaming.  If in doubt, leave them long until after you have sewn the coaming in. It will never be too late to cut them shorter.   Remember the old carpenter's joke:

 

I have cut this board 3 times and it is still too short.

 

You will find that your confusion resolves itself during this process. Well, it did for me.
