Glass on the underside of the lip?

You don't need glass on the underside of the lip? What style coaming and lip are you planning? If you build the Nick style stacked strip coaming with bent wood for the lip, all you need is to turn it upside down and float on some epoxy. You're not gaining any strength with trying to glass it. I wouldn't put a lip on too, if I had to do that.

The other posters make a lot of sense with having something to grab on to.
Plus who knows, maybe at some time he would like to use a spray skirt ?
