: Hello,

: In Nicks book he talked of using two shear strips, one on the hull and one on
: the deck. Each of these has just a cove routed to one side and a bevel on
: the other, these two are then aligned when the two halves are finished.

: Would it not be possable to use one shear strip with a cove routed on both
: sides ? This would make the final aligning and glassing of the seam easier
: in my mind.

It is certainly possible. I don't do it because the cove tends to get beat up while you are working on the boat. If you are careful it should work, but you may more work for yourself instead of less.
