The masts are shown with a pretty strong rake (but not to the degree you show). Interestingly (is that a word?), he drew it with the keel parallel to the baseline and the waterline at an angle. The station lines appear to be perpendicular to the keel in his drawing.![]() | ||

I have learned so much this week and here I was, thinking this was going to be a break from the more complex drafting projects... Is it my imagination, or is the keel drag gone? When I trace these into CAD, I will overlay onto the Chapelle and Hahn plans to see How they compare. G [ Edited Tue Jan 06 2015, 06:40am ] | ||

Is it my imagination, or is the keel drag gone? yes you can say it is gone on this plan but when you level the waterline then it shows. My confusion, is the plan showing the vessel as it should look when afloat with the drawn rake on the masts and vertical sides to the gun ports and midship frame? when you level the waterline then all that changes. | ||

According to Goodwin's "The Construction and Fitting......" pg. 167, the rake would have been included in the principal dimensions laid down by the Navy Board. On the previous page it also states that it was not uncommon for a "seasoned master" to adjust the rake to his own requirements, especially on smaller vessels. | ||

What I was thinking the guy who drew the original plan was he thinking "to the waterline" or not. anyhow this is very confusing and I just don't know how to lift frame shapes with a slanted keel or for that matter how to draw and build a model when the keel and lwl do not match. so I thought why not ask someone who might know. Here is a link to people who might be able to clear this up. It would be so much easier if one of them could read the topic rather than try to explain the issue. So either Winston or Gary contact all the people or one at a time and include a link to our topic. I would but my brain hurts from trying to figure this out I tried once before and gave up. http://name.engin.umich.edu/people/ good luck Gary you sure picked a tough project [ Edited Tue Jan 06 2015, 04:20pm ] | ||

It is a matter of creating an imaginary baseline that is parallel to the lwl, and lofting all frames by using the baseline as your reference point for every frame. Of course, the jig that holds the frames and keel assembly must incorporate the slanted keel, not the imaginary baseline, and the top edge of the jig is built to accommodate the lwl.
