Scarf question for Fred

Freddd,

Am I right in assuming that I want the scarf joint on the rub rails to be in the vertical axis and not the lateral? That is to say, when the rails are bent around the gunwales, I don't want horizontal pressure working to split that joint, correct? I should continue as I had, with the scarf running from top to bottom (albeit for a full six inches as opposed to 1.5), looking at the rail in elevation (as opposed to plan) view.
