Hi John,
That would be one way to do it. Using lighter weight cloth for the outer glass, you could double it up.
I was visualising a pair of half hull/decks in female molds with the inside glassed, the bulkheads in place in one side with some intermediate internal forms to keep its shape. The second half is put to the first and seam glued, along with any permanent bulkheads. Then the outside is glassed, hull first then deck with the overlap at the gunwale/sheer. The inside seam is then taped. At least that is how I saw one hull done years back. I don't think it's a common method, though.
I prefer the hull and deck seperate, then joined, it's easier to do the hatches that way.
