Inboard of the sheer strake the heavier gunwale is similarly bent in along the line of the sheer.
This part of the work is finished by fitting the breast hook and quarter knees.
Swivel or crutch chocks are fitted as appropriate to the gunwale, the thwarts fitted down onto the rising and held in position by knees up to the gunwale and perhaps down onto the stringer.
The structure of gunwale, rising, thwart and thwart knees greatly stiffens and strengthens the shell and turns it into a boat.
There are several ways of fixing the rubbing strake but in a clinker boat, it is applied to the outside of the sheer strake.
