    2 books are really useful : Anatomy of the ship Bounty and Endeavour. There are both merchantmen

    1766, an other triple frames before 1770’s double frame was more common. By the way, Beaver’s prize was built in America. Double frames seems to be a more normal practice there. Before being converted to a privateer, she was a merchant’s ship.

    This framing plan was published in 1770. That is why it could be useful for the Beaver framing (1761) or the Beaver’prize 🙂 Floor timber shoud be around 10 inches , sided (No scale indicated on the plan). I should check with the size of the gun ports.

    Either I start again the same model (without mistakes) or the HMS Beaver itself. In both cases, we have no framing plan (my guess, see photo). HMS Beaver => french design but english built. Slade , the best english naval architect, was very keen on french design. Date : 1770

    Out of lumberyard. but my wood was ok…I was lucky

    Dear Mike, Your model is a lot better than mine 🙂 I should start a new one with my level of today understanding. The Hahn method is good but could be improved without to much trouble. Best Michel

    An other example. Royal Navy sloop, 1776

    Both shared the same history. This cant frame distribution is just an example. I checked other plans too. Cant frame distribution follows specific rules. On average the last cant frame (aft) has an angle much sharper than on Hahn plan. Beaver (1761) is not a french privateer but an english sloop designed by Slade, based on the shape of the french fregate Aurore. Beaver framing is english with cant frames. French ships had no cant frames. Beaver prize was taken by this Beaver sloop 🙂

    This is the Beaver plan . Cant frame distribution is indicated…far from Hahn plan. English sloop, designed by Slade.

    Beaver prize (taken by HMS Beaver, see below) The London museum plan : 100% accurate

    A picture of my Beaver’s prize model. Recently , I compared the historical plan from the London museum with Hahn plan. The breadth on the body plan is not the same. Hahn plan has a larger breadth: +4mm . By the way, the distribution of the cant frames (aft) seems to be wrong. Congratulation on your model. Framing is superb.
