fnkershner Posted November 7, 2017 Share #62 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) In Sailing Ships there is no such thing as Rope there is only Lines. Halyards are a specific type of line used for lifting. Sheets are another type of line used for sail trimming. Ropes are for land lubbers. Lines are for Rag baggers (Sailors). Here is a brief list of the different types of lines you will find on a Sailboat: (I am sure there are more. I have never sailed a square rigger) Halyards Sheets Topping Lifts Down Hauls Preventer Stays Shrouds Pendants (The last 4 above are Standing rigging and the others are running rigging) Remember the pecking order on the water is: - Rag Baggers (those who go to sea in craft propelled by wind) - Stink Potters (those who go to sea in craft propelled by Noisy smelly machines) - Landlubber (those who never go to sea - A fate worse than death) Edited November 7, 2017 by fnkershner Nirvana and Don Quixote 2 Quote Current Builds - 18th Century Longboat, MS Syren Completed Builds - MS Bluenose, Panart BatteStation Cross section, Endevour J Boat Half Hull, Windego Half Hull, R/C T37 Breezing Along, R/C Victoria 32, SolCat 18 On the shelf - Panart San Felipe, Euromodel Ajax, C.Mamoli America, Its a sailor's Life for me!

Worldway Posted November 15, 2017 Share #78 Posted November 15, 2017 Yes it should lay flat. it isn't a problem bending it on the flat side as there isn't much of a bend. You don't need to pre-bend the planks. Just install and pin until the glue sets.

Worldway Posted November 15, 2017 Share #80 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) For the outer waterway strakes, I simply cut planks to length and inserted them between the timbers. I found no need to bend them. However, pay attention to the angle that you cut them on. They aren't cut at 90 degrees however I usually just eyeballed it.

Worldway Posted November 15, 2017 Share #82 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) I didn't have the first row of hull planks on yet. I installed the waterway planks then sanded them down to match the curve of the hull. I also found when said and done I had to add some body fill. My thinking is that it's no big deal because any imperfections would be hidden later with paint.

Nirvana Posted November 15, 2017 Share #83 Posted November 15, 2017 Derek, with the aftermath I would have installed the waterway planks first before planking the hull. But yes, I had to do some pre-bending of the full length waterways as I used boxwood. If I would had used the provided basswood this wouldn't be necessary. Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!
