: Hard chined boats
: have a relatively sharper hull to deck transition angle and I envisage
: difficulties taping the inside join.

But with a hybrid, you can make that transition angle much easier. Whilst
the hull has hard chines, a stripped deck can be a nice rounded section
(my hybrid Cormorant has deck sections which are half-ellipse), and this
makes the deck to hull join just as easy as on a full stripper. If you
want to keep the deck very low, then you can still have a fairly rounded
deck shape with easy hull/deck join by lowering the sheer somewhat.

: A sheer clamp for gluing the deck to
: the hull seems practical. As well, it is handy to have a sheer to screw
: fittings into. Any opinions ?

I have a very low opinion of screws :-)
