boat sheer plank
When planking from the sheer down, i always put the clamps on the forward face of the frame, under the plank, and inside out—that is, with the threaded part inside the boat. this arrangement keeps them out of the way of the fastenings, which are always staggered according to a fixed pattern—the lower one toward the after edge of the frame. The top line of the boat must have a nice ‘sheer’, a nice line from forward to aft, whereby the bow is always higher than the stern. for boats from zeeland the rubbing strake must have a small s-bend from the stern going forward, which is slightly more or less depending on the type of boat..
