: I was reading my handy PDF version of the AT 17' construction manual (gotta
: love the Pygmy team) and I was slightly confused by the bevelling
: instructions. Can anyone clarify them? I don't have the lit in front of me
: yet so...

The triangular deck recess panel gets beveled on the two sides that will rest against the rear deck panels. Same idea as beveling the shear panel edges. The bevel allows the piece to glue against the deck panels with a closed seam. My Stanley block plane made short work of that. On the Pygmy boats, some of the seams are "open" and get filled with thickened epoxy. Others are "closed" for a clean seam i.e. the shear seam. I'll take a pic and post it on my Tern Project site over the next couple of days.
