captainbob Posted November 21, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2016 For years the word used for the line where the planks meet the keel has been called the rabbit line. Recently I have been seeing it called the rebate. So I looked it up to see if I was wrong all these years. Here is what I found. The line where the planks meet the keel is the rabbit line. The groove that is cut on that line is the rebate. Thought there might be others that would like to know. Bob thibaultron, jud, mtaylor and 7 others 10 Quote Every build is a learning experience.

jbshan Posted November 22, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 22, 2016 In this case, rabbit is spelled rabbet, in which the rabbeted edge is formed by a rebate. Just so we're all clear on this. :-) Canute, mtaylor, jxtbone and 3 others 6 Quote Joel Sanborn http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/9953-lexington-by-jbshan-dlumberyard-164-from-the-seaways-practicum-by-clay-feldman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
