AMATEUR CANOE BUILDING. 

 Third Paper. 



HAVING the paper laid olT a» described, we will begin 

 with the sheer plan, first dcl(!iminio<r the draft" ef 

 water admissible and how much of it slisill be given to the 

 keel. In the present boat there is no keel, so the draft, Sin., 

 is measured up from the baseline and the load water iiu 

 drawn in. Now we will take-in. for the least freeboard. 

 which will be about midships, so the distance, 4^in., is laid 

 olT from the water line on the frame line marked X. and a 

 small circle is ilniwn around the spot to make it easily 

 visible. The sheer of the bow we will make K.'in.. >o we 

 will measure up from the water Hue 3A plus 4| or 8io., 

 marking the spol as before, and the sheer aft, 2-iin., will be 

 marked m the same way at station 14. Takine. a long 

 s|iliiie. we will lay it on the drawing so as to pass through 



t) il ni spots', confining it by lead weights or by small 



pins on eiilur side of it tit each point. If il does not take 

 a "fair " curve without any abrupt beads, other pins or 

 weights must lie added al various points until il is true and 

 fair throughout, when the line may be drawn in with a 

 pencil. 



Nexl the outline of the bow, bottom of keel and slern may 

 be drawn in with a spline or lha curves, and also the rabbet 

 line o p., showingtae endingo! the plank. The lieightoft.be 

 emu n of i he deck at midships may also be laid off, and 

 middle line of the deck drawn. The center line of the mid- 

 ship section is E F and on each Hide of it at a distance equal 

 to half the extreme beam, flic perpendiculars, j ■ are drawn; 

 then, using H small Bpline or a curve, the midship section is 

 drawn, according to the taste of the designer, the line begin- 

 ning al rabbet in the keel, and ending at 'the poiut h, which 

 is, of course, as high above the water line as the correspond- 

 ing point in the >ln-er plan. The midship section is com- 

 plnod i-v drawing in the other half, measuring with the 

 dividers the breadths from E P on each water line, and 

 transferring them to the opposite side, afterward drawing a 

 curv& 1 liiongh all the points thus found. The round of the 

 deck may also be drawn in the body plan, joining the two 

 o.vlrciu. sol' the lnidsliiji section. 



.Sou proceeding to Uifi half breadth plan we will first 

 draw in the half breadth of Ihe keel, stem and stern. In 

 a keel i-aiioc ihe bicadths will be the same throughout, from 

 £ to lin., but in a centcrhoard boat the keel musl be wider 

 amidships, to allow room for Ihe trunk. In this boat the 

 width at the how and stern is Jin., so we lay off fjin. at A A 

 and draw the line A rfr/A, widening in the middle, which 

 represents the half breadth of the keel, the inner line is the 

 edge of the rabbet or groove, cut to receive the plack. 



The keel being laid off. the half breadth at the deck is 

 taken from the body plan and set oil* at X on the half 

 breadth plan. The side line of the deck, of course, passes 

 through this point, its ends meeting the side of the keel at 

 the points A A. tin- distances of these, points from stations 

 and 14 respectively, being the widths of the stem piece and 

 stem post outside of the planking. A spline is bent through 

 the three points so as to give the desired fulness at bow and 

 stern, ami ihe "side line," or half breadth, on deck is drawn 

 in. 



The breadth on "NO. 'I water line is now laid off at X anil the 

 endings of the line determined by squaring down from those 

 points in the sheer plan where No. 2 water line cuts the 

 rabbet Of how and stern to the siding of the keel in the half 

 breadth plan. Through these three points the water line is 

 drawn, ils , -m valine being regulated to suit the eye of the 

 designer. To test it we will run in sonteof Ihe intermediate 

 n the body plan, beginning with No. 4, 



Cti ii isl end at a height above the water line 



; the sheer line at No. 4, or? k in the sheer plan, 

 and al a distance from A B in the half breadth plan equal to 

 i 4. so. laying the T square across the drawing, we draw 

 lightly a horizontal line through the intersection of station 

 4 and the sheer line, prolonging it across the right hand half 

 <•! the body plan, and on this line lay off the distance j 4 

 from 1. P. This point (tin the body plan) is the upper end 

 ol H. <■ se<iii, ii. Tin.- low,-! end is al'the point I at tin: same 

 ln-iehi above ("' 1) as the intersection of the rabbet lim- o p, 

 and Btation I ill the sheer plan., and at a distance from 

 K F equal to the half breadth of the keel al the rabbet-lint on 

 station 4. A third poiut of the frame Hue is found by tak- 

 ing the half breadth on the water line at station 4 in the half 

 breadth plan, and transferring il to the same water line in 

 the body plan, A line is now drawn through these three 

 points, and if it is a fair curve, il may be left and a section 

 drawn in tile same manner at station It). If the line through 

 the, three points is no) fair, the water line must be altered 

 and a new trial n.adc, until it is correct. With these threesec- 

 tions determined, Nos, -i. X and 10, the remaining wftti c lines 



may he drawn in the half breadth plan, uinl aitei ihev ate 



T! 

 show 



"faired" or corrected the rest of the frame lines iu the hotly 

 plan may be run iu from them. 



The design is now ready for the final fairing, for which 

 the "diagonals" A B aud C D are drawn iu the body plan. 

 These lines should bo so drawn us to inlersei •(. all the frame 

 lines at as near a right angle as possible. The distances along 

 the diagonal from the point A to the intersection of each 

 frame line, are taken off in turn, and laid oil' on their corres- 

 ponding stations in the half breadth plan, and a line, ABA, 

 is drawn through the points. If the line is unfair it must be 

 altered, the corresponding points in the water and frame 

 lines being changed at the same lime, uut.il all coincide, the 

 breadths and heights of every iiil.ersielioii being the same in 

 all three plans, when il may be assumed that the drawing is 

 fair. 



As an additional test of fairness ihe "hutloc-k" linos mav 

 be run in. These aic drawn in Ihe body and half breadth 

 plans, parallel to the center lines, and are transferred to 

 the sheer plan by taking the height of each intersection in 

 the body plan and setting il off on the 

 lion, the curve being drawn through tin. 

 The endings of the buttock lines lire ftn 

 from the points in the half breadth pi: ... . 

 the deck line, to the deck line in the sheer plan, as al'E E. 



The stern, keel and stern mav be drawn in the body plan 

 by taking their half breadths from the half breadth plan and 

 setting them off on either side of E F at their proper heights. 

 The deck line in the body plan is drawn through the upper 

 ends of the frame lines found as described above. A fter the 

 drawing is fair, the position of well, mast tubes and slops, 

 bulkheads., oonterlioard trunk. Hour, foot-gear and all the 

 details of the internal arrangements are drawn in, complet- 

 ing the design. When this is done, the drawing may be 

 inked in, the outlines of the boat proper iu black, the water 

 lines in the half breadth plan in blue, and the frame linos, 

 water and buttock lines in the sheer aud half breadth lines 

 in red.
