Good thought ,thanks. I see miter margin joints both epoxy glued or caulked.
In Response To: Tom, bear in mind all those trim and joining pieces are there to deal with end grain exposure. ()
It's a weird art, decking. I see your point on end grain. If I went with no wide margin, I would have a narrow margin piece with a caulk joint between it and the butt joint. Take the modern boat above with no wood trim, it has a metal trim piece on the butt joints of the lockers. Do you think that is caulked?
In the end I think I'll need the trim or frame for hinging and other requirements I can't seem to do without using the trim. Trouble is to my eye, often the trim looks like too many pieces not making much sense. If you have any photos, please post. Thanks Westy.

- A cockpit well.

- I will need some hoisting points.
- Complication I have is the two big cockpit locker tops.
- Are you planning to glass the entire inside of the cockpit well?
- The "modern" approach would be to have a gutter below the lids which drains out into the cockpit.
- That is what I'm doing.
- Sounds like a good plan. As regards the hinge side gutters others must have solved this previously.
- Pondering hinge side...seems my memory conures up the usual.....
- Here's a rough sketch in actual size of my plan.
- I think the gutters are too narrow, Tom.
- Looks about right to me. Couple things I notice......idle curiosity.
