[Public-list] Hull-deck joint construction, pre-liner.

[Rachel]

Hi folks,

I'd like to know exactly how the hull-deck joint is constructed on the 
pre-liner boats. What are the shapes of the hull and deck molding in 
that area, how are they held together (besides the obvious toe-rail 
bolts), etc.

I searched the archives and did find a few threads where people started 
asking about this, but they morphed into discussions of the pop-rivet 
and cap on the liner boats before anyone talked too much about the 
pre-liner set-up.

I noted that one person had taken off the toe-rail and glassed over (?) 
the joint, then moved the toe-rail up onto brackets, a la Hal and 
Margaret Roth (so perhaps he's seen how it's all done), but I forget 
what boat that was now.

Does anyone know for sure, and/or is there a sketch anywhere?

Also, there is a section of photos on the hull-deck joint on the A-30 
page, but I can't really tell what I'm looking at there; i.e. which way 
is up, and which era of boat is involved.

Thanks ahead,

Rachel
