So, you're building a boat in your basement? There's a "Support Group" for that. I've done my share of internet forum surfing, forums are great sources of information. The CLC Builder's Forum is an exceptional resource for boatbuilding. I've spent many hours going through the forum topics, reading several thousand posts on all topics.
The "experts" are knowledgeable, encouraging, courteous, and extremely helpful. This forum is a treasure trove of terrific information freely shared in a friendly environment.

| Most common piece of advice on the CLC forum - You can't have too many clamps. |
One good thing about building two boats at the same time, is being able to try different approaches to the same task to get better results. When I glued the sheer clamps to the hull side panels on the Chesapeake 16lt I wasn't as careful with the excess glue as I should have been, the panels ended up being a little stuck together and were difficult to separate. When gluing the 17lt I was much more careful and the panels came apart easily.

| The sheer clamps are long strips of 3/4" stock glued to the tops of the side panels, the deck will attach to these. |
