Fiberglassing top sides

I am getting ready to start glassing the top sides. Does anyone have any good pictures of where to stop each piece of cloth and where the overlaps land?

Check out some of the blogs. I just looked at slick95's (Jeff) and he has a lot of pictures.

Thank you. I looked through a few but some of them are a little hard to navigate. This one has great pictures.

From my picture blog. This should help you see where I laided out the fiberglass on the top sides. Basically along the outside I went below the transition where the rub rail attaches. I overlapped three to four inches all fiberglass. Hope this helps.
