A clamp for fiberglass boats is adjustable where the contact points are on any of the fiberglass hull, the fiberglass deck (which meets the hull at a seam covered by a rub rail), and/or the fiberglass gunwale (which is part of the deck and, if low enough, is called a toe rail). The clamp has an outer jaw for contacting the hull below the rub rail, and inner jaw that is reached over and around the gunwale for contacting the deck inside the gunwale, an optional auxiliary jaw for contacting the outside of the gunwale, and an optional stand-off resting on the crown of the gunwale. Preferably the jaws and stand-off are the terminations of linkages which can be re-configured in an indefinite variety of re-configurations.
