The
Stem has been Been notched into the first former,
screwed to the second former, and clamped between two
supports at the strong-back. I am four strips up from
the sheer. The plans call for a 9mm X 33mm strip. I am
hand beveling the strips, so I won't be losing as much
as bead and cove would take off the strip width. My
Strips are 8mm x 22mm. My strips are very regular, and
I take care to keep them exactly aligned, so I think,
once faired, my hull will be easily as thick as a hull
glued up from wider 9mm strips. This hull is going to
be stapleless, but the sheer strip is screwed down.
the rubbing strip will eventually cover those screw
holes.
