Gunwale |
Here's a cross-section sketch depicting the deck to sheer junction as per plans.
(21-APR-2008)
|
Here's how we'll be modifying the junction.
|
We routed a rabet for the gunwale. Battens were sprung down both sides to lay out
a rabet to accept the mahogany gunwales.
|
|
|
Gunwales in place. I added extra to the bow to create an overhang that will hide the top
of my cutwater.
|
Fairing the gunwales.
|
|
Rub-rail Nose-cap. I bent this from my Stainless Steel rubrail. It will
cap the nose.
|
|
Covering boards |
Covering boards. I had 3 @ 11" boards, and 1 @ 14" board milled down to 3/8"
to be my covering boards.
|
Ready to go. The top of the boat hasn't been this clean since Guntersville !
|
Setting the finishing board pattern. I worked with Kraft Paper and a batten to set the
desired finishing board shape, then transferred the pattern to the mahogany.
I used the 14" wide for the front piece on each side.
|
Cutting the front finishing board. The tape marks the overlap of the
mating piece. We wanted to get two 6' long pieces out on one 11' long board .
|
Test fitting.
|
Pattern for piece #2. Piece #2 was also 6' long, with mating pieces cut from one
11' board.
|
Pattern for piece #3.
|
All pieces are fitted and tacked down. I still need to do some fairing
on the inside curve.
