Don't settle for the boat you can build; build the boat that you want. You'll be glad you did. I'm in over my head on a princess 26 and am loving it. Ron

I guess I need an explanation of the laminated deck beam. How does it increase knee room or lower the deck height any more than a plywood cross section, with the lower part removed, would? I have doubled up my plywood cross section at the front of the cockpit and reduced the width of the remaining wood to get a little bit larger opening and still maintain strength. I haven't seen a set of Jeff's plans, other than those in the book. But the book has instruction for both the plywood and the laminated coaming. Wouldn't including instruction for both types, the masik and the regular cross section, be no more confusing or difficult than that? Not meaning to be critical of the idea at all. I know i must be missing something here.
