[Alberg30] cockpit coamings

[Mike Lehman]

That would work, if you are sure that you could get a seal over the long
distance of the coaming/deck joint. To be sure caulk the whole damn thing or
use a rubber gasket. Or.. replace the coamings every 10-15 years. In the
end, you cannot allow water to penetrate and sit between the coaming and the
fiberglass or you will rot out the coaming.

the need for the rubber tape between the coamings and the fiberglass. Why
wouldn't it be sufficient to simply caulk the coaming/side deck interface?
Wouldn't that prevent the deck water from rotting the unexposed wood and
also prevent wet seats?
