Planking this boat is very challenging.Remember that Pete only built one of these boats so pay attention to any neede adjustments in the offsets!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-30730566301311415902010-12-07T11:49:01.563-08:002010-12-07T11:49:01.563-08:00Rob,

More on her later...<br />When I commented on this rig on your site, I was confused about the line running from the top of the mast out over the sail. <br />Today I'm clearer (it happens sometimes!) and remember that it's called a "brail". It's a line that runs from masthead out and around the sprit and back, via a block to the base of the mast. It's purpose is to "scandalize" the sail, thus depower it by compressing the top of the sail toward the mast.<br />The unfortunate sailors in your painting might have been attempting just such a maneuver, called "brailing up".dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-57856756044233101672009-10-18T04:57:10.308-07:002009-10-18T04:57:10.308-07:00What a nice little boat :)
