Fairing the bow of the Winchelsea to get the curve at the shear.....so the cap rail parts will fit.

[Chuck]

Attached is a PDF of the actual fcastle cap rail parts.   This includes the small "arrow" spacer for the cathead.  Read chapter 9.  BUT...I thought this would be a great way for those who are just starting to fair the bulkheads inchapter one to check that the bow shape and curvature is correct.   Lay these on top of the bulkheads were the cap rail will eventually go to check the shape.  I know you guys get nervous about the correct shape at the bow.  Many of you will NOT have that and the cap rail may not fit.  Which will mean you guys will need to scratch build the cap rail and fancy rail parts.  

 

Make sure that your bow has the correct shape before you start planking...

 

GBarlow..........Glen,  this is the perfect timefor you to use these.

So. Does the aft end of the template start at the bulkhead M or the aft end of the hance piece?

Dont worry about the aft end…you are good to go.  the length is fine.  That doesnt matter.
