Thtas what I did, per CLC innstructions.

But then I stapled a temporary sheer clamp on the outside of the hull, it was about 3/8" x 3/4" (taped off so no glue would stick). When I stripped the deck, I carried the strip right over the edge. Then, when I installed the deck, I used that outside sheer clamp to clamp the deck down with spring clamps. After the deck joint cured, I pulled the temp strip out, removed the staples, planed the deck down to the hull, and installed the rub rail to cover the staple holes.

It worked well, I'd do it the same way again.

: Tom, I just started a Cormorant 16 and plan to strip the deck. How did you
: handle the shear? Did you glue shear clamps to the hull panels? I plan to
: paint the hull and varnish the deck and to install rub rails. So I want
: the deck strip to extend over and cover the raw plywood edge of the hull
: side panel. I'm currently thinking just glue in shear clamps a la a
: plywood deck and plane them to shape after installing some temporary deck
: beams to use as forms. Your thoughts?
