druxey Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share #391 Posted June 20, 2021 Yes, Eberhard, there are 'tin' bands on the oar blades, but it's hard to see them in the photos. Alan: There is no tiller, just a yoke with two lines attached. As I don't know the run of those lines, I'm omitting them. Steve: The oars are attached using both a dab of epoxy backed up with PVA.

Mark Pearse Posted June 20, 2021 Share #397 Posted June 20, 2021 Thank you for the detailed & patient explanation of this fine model. I find the tiller yoke question intriguing. Is there any evidence that they might have used metalwork fittings that integrated with the timber piece you showed? I find the rope idea unsatisfying, the leverage doesn't look quite right.

glbarlow Posted June 21, 2021 Share #403 Posted June 21, 2021 The many “expert commentators” here are a bit hilarious, it tries to detract from the completely amazing quality and beauty of the actual model. Fortunately it doesn’t succeed, the model stands out as to what a gifted expert can accomplish that the rest of us can only dream about.

The skill displayed with this wonderful model shows what can be done in a relatively short time, not only intriguing your audience but presumably providing yourself a real sense of inestimable accomplishment.

wefalck Posted June 21, 2021 Share #415 Posted June 21, 2021 On the yoke vs. tiller: I had a look in my old textbooks on naval boats, but there they state that cutters may use a yoke for steering and it is not very wide. I gather, when being rowed, sharper turns can be achieved by rowing on one side only, while under sail, the driver placed far aft, yawl-fashion would aid the steering by either hauling it more or less taught, so changing the tendency of the boat going into the wind or otherwise. Thus the rudder would only be needed for small corrections of the course.
