This shows the aft deck installed and secured to the sheer clamps with bronze boat nails. A coat of epoxy thickened with cab-o-sil was applied to the sheer clamps prior to installing the deck. The blue strap was used to force the deck down and onto the sheer clamps. The thing laying on the deck is the Nail Locating Guide- this helped locate the sheer clamp so the nails were driven into the sheer clamp.
