: Sounds like I may have to try it one of these days. Wrapping the
: deck glass onto the sheer could make a nice easter-egg type
: joint.

: Like I said I do it the other way: sheer first and glue the planks
: to it. At first it looks like a SOF with really light gunwales.
: Having the sheer clamp there really helps the stripping on the
: ends. It give you tons of area to glue to and really strengthens
: the ends. When it's time for the deck stripping, I plane the
: sheer clamp and hull planks even with the form, tape off them
: off and start stripping the deck. The deck is trimmed oversized
: so for mating it just pops on top of the hull with room for
: adjustment. Like Et, the main exterior deck reinforcement is put
: on after mating, wrapping it down the sides. Unlike Et, I do put
: on a very light glass layer to hold things together while I work
: on the inside.

: Many ways to skin a boat...

I do it a different way still, I fit the sheerclamp into the hull after it's stripped.

But I only do it on the ends where it's hard to reach from the hatches or the cockpit, those areas are taped. Right angle joints (or nearly so) between the hull and deck are easy, use a filet there first.
