If memory serves me right, I dealt with that gap on the LB22 by planing it flat. I used a power plane and it took no time at all. Filling it with goop before glassing over it seems good too..

Appreciate the info, Dougster, I'll plan on that approach.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I just came across a post https://forums.bateau2.com/viewtopic.ph ... &start=460 by capt UB that addresses the same question I was asking about the gap between the deck and rubrail/sheer clamp.
His illustration is a lot better than mine, used without permission:
He is using a sheer clamp where I'm going to only use a rubrail, but the geometry is the same. I still think I'm going to add the rubrail proud of the sheer and plane it horizontal to avoid the need to fill the gap with goop. Good to see alternatives in action though.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I have a lot of work to do figuring out how to efficiently post photos. Embedded photos from google drive dont appear to work, could not find any posts related to it. This leaves manually uploading via the add files button, which is tricky from my phone. Any input appreciated.

Use the gallery here then just use the BBCode to include in a post.
Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
I'll try that approach Jaysen, thanks.

Re: Jeffs FS14 LS
Looks great, bet it feels good to be past the planning and into the building.
