The great sheer clamp debacle

Today is the sixth day we've been working on the sheer clamp. It has been haunting our dreams.

We've made a lot of small adjustments, including some changes to the structural layout of the frames. We now believe (though we may be delusional) that things are more symmetrical, plumb, level, true, fair, and all other words that mean good.

This picture below shows us in triumph (for the moment) next to the boat with sheer clamp temporarily attached. If you can pull your eyes away from the riveting sight of my ass, the 2 sheer clamps can be seen held to the stem with the two c-clamps and pink string.
