Sheer, stem, chainplate frames

The big sheer clamp glue up.

With the chine all bonded, it was time to get the sheer glued and finally lock in the layout of the boat- I could shift things around a bit before. To prevent a hard spot at each clamp, I used a full-length batten as a clamping caul on the outside of the ply.

I have a slight hollow between f0 and f18, maybe a little further. It's the same on both sides, and it isn't "unfair", just hollow. The rest of the sheer looks good to me, except for the fact that it all needs to get planed to fit...

The chainplate frames are tabbed in with some kevlar tape each side.

The cockpit after a bit of sanding, but sill in need of plenty of filler.
