: To me it sort of depends if you're doing a cockpit recess or not.
: On my last boat I cut out the cockpit recess first, then glassed
: the deck and recess together, then cut out the cockpit and did
: the riser. I always glass the underside of the deck after the
: coaming is done so I can connect the glass underneath to the
: coaming riser.
