: I'm finally done sanding the hull on the Guillemot! Is it better to just flip
: the boat over and strip the deck, or can I safely glass the hull outside,
: then strip the deck? I have read a lot on this board about deck/hull
: alignment woes, just want to avoid trouble.

Stripping the deck first will let you sand across the deck/hull joint. This can help make the joint smoother. I also like to do all the glassing as close together as possible to reduce the amount of time for problems to develop. But you can probably glass the hull now if you want to.
