Deck stringers

[bagarre]

Jeff pointed out that my stringers should go over the masik and not under like I have them. Only the center stringer goes over.

I was going to leave it alone but, after fitting the coaming, I can see that it will change the appearance of the boat a fair amount.

 

As I make the swap, should the stringers terminate at the masik or should they extend a few inches aft? Extending them aft would extend the line in the fabric and may look better.

Thoughts? How have others done this?

Stretch some T shirt material over it, clamp it and look at it. That is how I do it.

 

A screwed together plywood coaming and sewn in coaming will look different because of the height of the fabric.  Using the t-shirt you can adjust and trim them so they look their best.
