captainbob Posted April 7, 2013 Share #31 Posted April 7, 2013 Yes, Mario, but it's those "crazy things" that make it look good, and this skiff is really looking good.

hopeful Posted April 9, 2013 Share #36 Posted April 9, 2013 Hi Mario, Another super build going on. See you are nearing the end. Most confess I have never seen a rudder exend so below the skeg. One would think it would get knocked off easily. Is the ruder position unique to the Maryland crabbing skiff?

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #37 Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks Russ for your kind remarks! Mario, I just noticed the grommets you put in the sail for lacing. How did you do them? Bob Hi Bob, Nope i did not make any grommets. My little trick was a modeling size awl and a little graphite on the end pushed thru the hole. then a touch of CA so it would not rub off. It gave it an appearence of a grommet. Hi Mario, Another super build going on. See you are nearing the end. Most confess I have never seen a rudder exend so below the skeg.

Yes on these little boats they do. I used as you can see Chapelle's book on this as one reference. The other was an actual Maryland Skiff write here. They show 2 options. One of their rudders was even bigger then the one I show... http://s247.photobucket.com/user/lakeeriesailor/library/Maryland%20Crabbing%20Skiff/?page=1#/user/lakeeriesailor/library/Maryland%20Crabbing%20Skiff?page=1&_suid=1365533295890015137427744168996 Now you got me talking here David. I have been toying with the idea of taking this real nice display board I have here at home and display several tiller n rudder assemplies from the Chesapeake Bay area. You know just the portion of these workboats. It's the tiller n rudders that really initially attracked me to these workboats in the first place. Man David if you google some you can find some really wild tiller n rudder assemplies that i think are way cool. So thats where the idea of me doing someting like that. I have plenty of scrap wood to do this and would make for a very interesting conversation piece at home. When I do get my modeling room re-modeled hoefuly in about a month I already have plans on the Galilee Boat, a C.B. bugeye, and a Smith Island Crabbing Skiff(known in that area as a CRAB SCRAPING BOAT.

Cap'n Rat Fink Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted April 9, 2013 Now the snotter was something new to me. never even hear of it till, I read Chapelle's book. After a bit of research turns out there ae many variations of how to build a snotter. All this did was just make this build even more interesting as I went along.... well here are the last photos of the Crabbing Skiff!!!! ken thomson and GrandpaPhil 2 Quote Thank You all...

hopeful Posted April 10, 2013 Share #41 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Hi Mario, Your skiff is a very fine build. Scratch no less, wow! BTW, when I was building my Sharpie Schooner I spent a lot of time in Chapelle's books. You are so right in those books is every kind of rudder-tiller combination imaginable is shown. Your idea to make and dispay an array of rudders is a good one. Thanks for posting your build, wonderbar!
