I'm not sure of the details of the early boats, which had masonite 
pegboard cores. You can see how the hull deck joint was done on the 
later boats on http://alberg30.org/maintenance/HullDeck/NewerHullDeckJoint/

The hull turned inwards. A strip of glass mat soaked in resin was laid 
on this. The deck was set on top and pop-riveted into place.

On the newer boats, the core runs out to the flange, but not over it. 
There were a few "transition" boats where the balsa core stopped short 
of the stanchion bases. I don't know how many were made, but 371 was one 
of these. You can spot them because the deck glass rises up under the 
genoa track rather than having wood there.
