: Hi again,

: Building my first child and i'm noticing some hybrids use a shear
: clamp and others don't. I don't see any mention of one in my
: plans, but does anyone know if the Hybrid Night Heron uses a
: shear clamp? It seems a bit crazy to attempt to attach the hull
: and deck at such a small edge if you don't use a shear clamp,
: but it must work somehow. Thoughts?

: Thanks,

It can be done, putting the deck on the hull, either with or without a sheer clamp, depends on how the designer chooses to do it. If this is your first boat I'd recommend to carefully follow the plans.
