Craig,
'Specky' - from spectacular - very special.

I hate to disagree with you Andy, but some early steel ships had bar keels. Here's another illustration from Pursey's book showing the construction of a bar keel at top left. I should add that Pursey was probably outdated even when it was first published in 1949. Such archaic tomes had no doubt been long withdrawn by the time you were studying for your tickets.

Most of them didn't have the locking pin. Nils. They simply relied on the weight of the compressor bar to do the job.

Not sure whether this will be any help, but an illustration from Pursey's 'Merchant Ship Construction (1969 edition).

Coming along very nicely. That transom looks very specky!

Jim Lad got a reaction from thibaultron in Niagara - skiff - need some advice on caprail
I make mine by laying a sheet of paper over the model and running a pencil around to draw the exact shape of the hull as a template, then cutting the right shape is straightforward.

Coming along nicely, Nils. I'm surprised she had screw stoppers on her cables instead of simple compression stoppers like the ones below.
