Jaeon Posted July 30, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2018 I recently completed the NY Pilot Boat and while proud I am under no illusions. It was my first build. The pinnace will be my second and I want to get off on the right foot. I made mistakes all during the Pilot boat build but the most damaging was the first one. I attached the first part of the pdf instructions. My question is from the third page and has to do with reducing the thickness along the edges of the false keel. I am not sure if I am to do the the entire length or only toward the stern. I think it is the entire length. If someone would check me on that it would be great. pinnace.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryland Craze Posted July 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2018 Jaeon, You are correct in that you will reduce the false keel along its entire length. This will form a consistent rabbet along the keel for the first plank (garboard) to lay. Good luck on your build. mtaylor 1 Quote Ryland Member - Hampton Roads Ship Model Society - Ship Model Society of New Jersey - Nautical Research Guild Current Build - Armed Virginia Sloop, 18th Century Longboat Completed Build - Medway Longboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
