In Response To: deck beam? (Randy Knauff)
: Is that a piece of plywood cut to the deck radius rather than a laminated
: deck beam?
: If so, How did you fasten it to the shear clamp for strength?
It is a short laminated beam epoxied to the shear clamp. This is a Chesapeake Light Craft 16LT. This little beam prevents the deck from oil canning.
A piece of plywood cut to deck radius would have done the job too. I don't believe it is necessary for strength on the completed boat.
