Thank you Mr. Magic!
I am using foam and fiberglass to rebuild coaming on present boat. The new boat (to me) was stored upside down in the dirt for some years so all the wood is gone. The hull is perfect though. I'll see how the foam/fiberglass comes out and then decide what to do on the whole new cockpit coaming. I'm not that into bending wood, etc....
Very happy to have a new Dirigo 17 though!!
