Coaming is any vertical surface on a ship designed to deflect or prevent entry of water. It usually refers to raised section of deck plating around an opening, such as a hatch. Coamings also provide a frame onto which to fit a hatch cover. The protective metal sheeting or plating protecting against water entry into ventilation shafts in large ships is called a coaming as it suits this purpose. The term was borrowed by the aviation industry to refer to a low rim around the opening for an unenclosed cockpit. In addition, it is the vertical surface rising from a hatch, which forestalls the ingress of water and provides a sealing surface for the hatch cover. Coaming also refers to the raised structure around the cockpit of a kayak. ==References== (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 46 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「coaming」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
