Tangent doublers
Tangents doublers are used to give you wider surface to glue the straight skin and the bent skin pieces together. They are screwed and glued. I also have made the side stiffeners of the sugar scoop on both sides.

Sheer clamps are glued and screwed on both side. It was very hard job to do. The sheer clamps had to be tensed in two different directions during fitting to the bulkheads and the cleats. It needs three men’s work. I had also made a simple frame for fitting the hull of the sugar scoop area at the stern.
All stringers are in the appropriate position. Sheer clamp cleats also installed.
Stringers have to be placed into the precut holes on the bulkheads. Bulkheads mean the vertical (perpendicular to the backbone), stingers mean the longitudinal (parallel with the backbone) structure parts of the sailboat.
After all stringers have been glued into their appropriate position the next step will be gluing the sheer clamp cleats, sawing and beveling the sheer clamp and place and glue the U shaped doublers onto the bulkheads.
Sheer clamps shape trapezoid, made from high flexible straight veins pine without wooden knots Epoxy used for gluing the parts onto each other,
