Clamps, Clamps and More Clamps!!

Prior to fitting the final stringers I wanted to establish the curve of the sheer with the laminated gunwale so the stringer that will be the most visible in the interior matches that line.


Note the consecutive cuts I had to take from the tempory transom to match the curve of the sheerline. So far everything seems to have come up pretty fair and the laser level has been a big help making sure the bulkheads are still vertical when adding these final pieces that will lock them in place.



The funny thing about this is that I was really scrambling for a few more clamps when the epoxy was getting close to gelling last night. When I dropped John at school this morning, I found one more loose on the roof of the car!

The weather is supposed to be excellent for the next 10 days so I'm hoping to get quite a bit done with temps each day in the mid-70s! Hopefully the first bottom plank as well as maybe a few sheets of hull planking??
