In Response To: Strip: sheer clamp options (Howie)

Why is it too late to notch the forms? When I built my Black Pearl, I stripped the hull, then I removed the forms and sanded and glassed the inside. When time came to build the deck, I replaced the forms after I cut the notches for the sheer clamp.

As per the designer's instructions, I simply went with a sheer clamp made from a regular 19mm x 4mm strip of pine that I epoxied in place and held with clothespins and "Schedule 40" clamps made from split ABS pipe.

Cheers,

Sean
