Doug�.I�m exactly at the same stage...

I e-mailed John Harris at CLC yesterday with the following question:

�If you refer to the attached photo, I have placed my 30� sheer clamp planning template at the forward knee of my Mill Creek 16.5. Should the top edge of the knee have been more in line with the 30� radius or should I just plane the sheer clap to this radius? Should I be concerned with this gap?�

John�s response today was:

�The side decks will span sheer clamp and carlin in a straight line---the planing guide only applies from the bulkhead forward (and from the aft bulkhead back). The plywood is meant to go flat over that span. Hope that helps.�

I�ve attached the photo link that I sent to John as reference.

You put your deck on first and let me know how it turns out...good luck!
