Because of the design of the yacht when the deck is attached to the hull / bulk head / girder. Its almost impossible to cove / glass the flanges. So we had made all the flanges so that all we needed to do was place epoxy on the flanges and place the deck on top. Firstly we made a flat surface using mdf and fared it in 15mm below the sheer line. We then applied peel ply on the bottom of the mdf so when glassed on to the glass wouldn't stick to the mdf. It was coved then glassed then finally peel ply was placed on to protect it while the resin cured.
Because the bulk head had a decent size gap between it and the deck we needed to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zaRNuMAh2Rk
the bulkhead is then full with epoxy and when the deck is attached to it the epoxy will fill the gap giving the bulkhead a good attachment to the deck.
