In Response To: Strip: When to trim (frankp)

: I am working on a strip deck for my S&G Northbay and am near
: finished with the stripping of the deck. There have been a few
: points where I thought it would be good to trim the deck and it
: occurred to me that I hadn't really come to a good decision as
: to when to do that. Anyone have any ideas or preferences as to
: when to trim the deck and when not to trim the deck?

Hi Frank,

Explain what "trim the deck" is referring to. Is that the glass overhang after wet out? Or is that the strips overhanging the hull? Or maybe rigging of the deck?
A quick description will help give understanding to the question.
Thanks,

Clayton
