: you may glue the lower sheer clamp in place on the bottom/hull, but i would
: cut away the sides(use a flush cut saw) and only stitch them in place to
: locate so that no bending is imparted one to the other.

sage,

because i'm an asshole, i'll suggest that the sides are not truly matched to the hull profile that you really want. (i could be dead wrong here, in that intended/designed side twist is locally affecting hull now but that will be accounted for with later deck panel restraint - if so, you should be building w/ an ext. or int. form to keep all locked in place prior to final glassing.in any account you are glassing to early without having formwork.)

if so, i would make a simple external ladderform to hold the hull panel in the shape you want and then when you have lightly restitched the existing sides in place there may be a few little gaps betw panels to make up the true diff. glue across or if shearclamp, you have max 3/4" gap to play with.

hopefully, i'm wrong and therefore maybe not an asshole. or maybe ....
