Inwales, outwales, skegs, and skids

The plans for this boat call for the shear clamps to be placed on the outside of this boat doubled up in two layers.   On an open deck boat like this, I like to do both inner and outer clamps.  Just like in canoe building.  I've fitted and glued in the clamps.  With that I'm going to have to adjust the precut seats and bulkheads. 


 
 
Dry fit the interior
 
You can never have enough clamps...
 
 I flipped the boat over and attached the skeg and the skids.  I know what the skeg does but the skids are suspect.   I anchored each with temporary screws right thru the bottom.  When I get the boat upright I'll put permanent screws from the inside.
