Yes. You can glass even more acute angles than 90 degrees, such as at the bow. You should chamfer the edge angle at least with a quarter inch radius before glassing. This will allow the cloth to wrap nicely around the corner. Apply epoxy first, then lay down your cloth and spread the cloth in both directions, away from the edge. Make sure the cloth is well wetted, and that there are no air bubbles under the cloth. Good luck!
