Moulding (depth) of wood keel from top to under side, 5in. Siding (breadth) of wood keel 4in. amidships, tapering to 24in. forward and 3in. aft. Length of iron keel, 12ft.; depth, 4in., tapered in breadth fore and aft to shape of wood keel. The heels of the floors at Nos. 2, 7, and 8 stations are not joggled as those at Nos. 6, 5, 4, and 3 are (see diagram B). The ticked line in the drawing represents the lower edge of the rabbet 24in. from the top of keel. No. 1 station is 1ft. 6in. from the fore side of the stem. stations are 2ft. 6in. apart. No. 9 station is 1ft. 9in. from No. 8. No. 11 is 1ft. 6in. from No. 10. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and No. 10 is 2ft. from No. 9. a diagonal is struck on the middle vertical line o (see body plan) 2ft. 2in. above the load water-line; it cuts the side perpendiculars pp at a 1 and a 2 at 1ft. 3in. above the load waterline. b diagonal cuts o 1ft. 8in. above L.W.L.; cuts p 4in. above L.W.L. c diagonal cuts o lft. 1 in. above L.W.L.; cuts p 4in. below L.W.L. d diagonal cuts o 6 in. above L.W.L.; cuts p 1ft. 1 in. below L.W.L. e diagonal cuts o lin. below L.W.L.; and at a 1 and a 2 is 1ft. 3in. below L.W.L. 1ft. 4 in. out from o. All the half-breadths given are without the plank. CHAPTER XVIII. A DESIGN for a centre-board boat, somewhat shallower than the Brighton Beach boats, and one admirably adapted for smooth-water sailing, is shown on Fig. 85. It will be seen that the mid-section is very much further aft than in any of the other centre-board boats of which lines are given, and in this respect the design more agrees with the American model. The bow is long and well formed, and no doubt a boat built on the lines would be fast. In the body plan, Fig. 86, more sections are shown than there are stations in the sheer plan; in the sheer plan every other station has been omitted. Diagonal a is struck on the vertical line o (Body Plan) 1ft. 6țin. above the L.W.L., and cuts the perpendiculars p p 9țin. above the L.W.L. at a 1 and a 2. Diagonal b is struck on the line o 8in. above the L.W.L., and cuts p p 4in. below L.W.L. at b 1 and b 2. Diagonal c is struck on o at its intersection with the L.W.L., and cuts the horizontal line m at c 1 and c 2. The rig it will be seen by Fig. 87 is the ordinary sloop. The mainsheet is thus worked: one end fast to the boom end; the other leads through a block on the counter, then through another block on SCALE IN-1 FI. the boom, and belays inside the boat close to rudder head or on side of the rudder head. one Of the many successful centre-board sloops and other boats which Burgoine of Kingstown has turned out, none have been more successful than the Alert, whose lines, by the kindness of Mr. W. M. Dunnage (her owner), we are able to give. These small craft are built specially for |
