The coaming is the reinforcement around the cockpit and also gives you a place to attach a spray skirt. This comes in 5 different pieces that have to be glued together and then glued to the deck. Getting five slippery pieces all lined up just right and keeping them there with clamps is like herding cats.
Somewhere I read that it takes at least 15 clamps to build a kayak and 30 is better. Well I used 35 on this part of the project. Notice my home made ones form PVC pipe. They work well but you need two hands to put them on and you don't always have two hands available.
The 5 pieces are now one and will be attached to the deck later. You will have to check back to see how that goes.
