sheer clamp length double

Posted by John on Apr 24, 2004

hello,

Well we want to glue the clamps to the Hull side pannels tonight.

The ASSEMBLY MANUAL tells us to refer to the PLANS for the correct dimension (how much to cut off) of the sheer clamp, however we can't find one shown in the PLANS.

The PLANS, ASSEMBLY MANUAL, and the VIDEO show the sheer clamp ending 3-4 inches before the bow and stern on the side pannels.

The STITCH AND GLUE CONSTRUCTION Building Boats the CLC way, shows a methond of making cuts so the sheer clamps meet at the bow and stern.

Having the sheers meet seems stronger, yet more complicated.

What are my options and if I need to end the sheer clamps 3-4 inches before the bow and sterns, what is the actual measurement?

Help?! john
