Thanks for all the input.
The builders have 'moved on' to final fill coats and varnishing now, so the question about glassing the coaming was really just to satisfy my own curiosity.
These are paddling friends who are doing their first build, so I'm trying to keep a low profile and not interfere too much.
"Don't speak until you are spoken to" is tough for me!! ;-)
I'm limiting my suggestions to advice about getting the boat completed before taking it paddling, and they seem to be committed to that. So the boat will have varnish, deck lines, end toggles, thigh pads etc. when it's launched.
They are very competent paddlers who own commercial boats so they know how things should be done.
