I agree with Ross. On my Guillemot, I glassed the deck after filling in the recess, but before stripping the vertical part of the coaming. It all went very smoothly. I can only imagine the extra headaches that would be caused by glassing the deck with the vertical part of the coaming already in place.

: I've just about got the horizontal strips filled into the cockpit area of my
: Guillemot and was wondering if most of you glassed the deck before cutting
: out the cockpit and putting in the vertical strips?
: I see from Kent's web page he did the horizontal stripping then just let the
: cloth drape over the opening and then cut it out after it set up a little.

: From the pictures in the book it looks like Nick has gone as far as
: installing the vertical strips before glassing but in other photo's the
: deck is already glassed.

: I'm looking for a little of the wisdom that comes from experience. Thanks for
: your help.
