How is the transom supposed to look on the Endeavour?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking through the pictures for later on, while the parts I just glued in dries and sets.

 

And when I look at the transom it strikes me that the photographic angles of the pictures make it look different every time.

 

So.

The aft part of the quarterdeck is slightly curved.

Makes sense that the transom should follow that curve.

It would also tie in nicely with the curve slightly lower down where the rudder shaft goes in.

One of the pictures show that you should file/sand the "outside" of the transom in a slight curve, which seems to indicate that the transom while munted is curved.

However, in several pictures later on the transom looks absolutely straight. That is especially visible in the pictures where the trimming on the transom is mounted.

 

So what is correct?

Curved or straight transom?

Curved transom with straight trimmings?
