The inner liner is 'glued' to the tops of the stringers and around the top edge to the hull with Potter putty - that top edge is where you through bolted your cap on. The Sceptre cap also includes the helm areas which meeet the liner about 6" off of the deck.There are several threads here that have pics of the stringer tops and there is also a pic of the components that show stringers and liner for a SF in one of the brochures on the literature page. Basically the strength and rigidity come from the various box structures formed by hull, stringers, deck, and cap.
