I would agree. It is a difficult part to do initially.
The key is getting the air out and also the fibres seated in all the corners. A bristle roller is a great product to help get air out when wet laying parts as the bristles get between the fibres and help lift out trapped bubbles underneath.
In terms of avoiding bridging, when your first gelcoat layer of resin is in the mould, allow it to part cure until firm but tacky. At this stage the fabric should stick quite well. You can then concentrate on putting down the fabric properly into all the recesses and dips. As its an awkward shape, I would then allow another couple of hours for the resin to go off a bit more, firmly bonding the fabric in place even more, before moving onto laying down more resin and subsequent layers of cloth.
