: Good guess, means you don't have to fight to get wet, sticky
: fiberglass tape into the ends where you can't reach.

: The partial sheer strakes do have to be fitted to the deck
: carefully so that the epoxy will actually bond to it, but that
: can be done with the hull/deck unattached, much better access :)

: Bill H.

Bill, what are the sheer strakes made of, Cedar strips? Are these fitted to the under side of the deck so that they will align with the inside of the huill sheer strip., similar to a lip on the top of a lathe turned wooden box?
