: I building my first boat, a Guillemont, from Nick's book. The book seems to

: coaming, and then glass the coaming.

: Any input is appreciated.

: Thanks.

Dave, I would definately glass the deck first and do the coaming after. It can be done either way but is MUCH harder if you already have the vertical strips in.

Happy building!
