: do the coaming first? Thanks

I suppose that depends on what type of coaming you plan to install but if you are following Nicks instructions and book then glass first. That's how I do all mine.

I built a Great Auk Double as my first strip built. It was a great project but someone made me an offer for it that I couldn't refuse so I don't have it any more.
