harlequin Posted May 28, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) are they flush with the planking or slightly set back inside the hull......the plans on Bellona look like they are flush, but I'm not sure that is right. In this pic they are flush with surrounding planks, or do they need to be set back into the hull slightly.

jbshan Posted May 28, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 28, 2015 The outer layer of the lid will be the same thickness as the hull planking, so the lining should be held back by that amount. augie, Landlubber Mike and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tadeusz43 Posted May 28, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 28, 2015 Hi, Gunport lids are flush with hull planking.

Jaager Posted May 28, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Although not addressed in the cross section schematic shown above, I am guessing that there is no Port lining at the sides. The sides are flush with the ends of the planking? No picture frame effect, just a recessed top and bottom layer?

mtaylor Posted May 28, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 28, 2015 Jaager, the sides would be the frames. The planking (when there are lids) goes just short of the opening to allow a lip (top, bottom and sides) for the lid to close on. robin b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
