After a planning meeting at Deltaville Maritime a few of us dropped by Capt. Crunch's sign shop where a few volunteers were building a 1/2 scale model of a deadrise fishing boat. It will be an interactive in the new exhibit building...
 |
| Russell shapes staves that cross plank the bow. The model is being built upside down and will be flipped once the 'underwater' part of the hull is completed |
 |
| John England inspects the stave. It has been band sawed out of thicker stock to form the twisted shape needed at that point. |
 |
| Looking aft. The stem is at the bottom left, the keel running back, and the chine on the bottom right. |
 |
| The horn timber curves to bring the flat aft end up to the surface of the water. This is to create the bouyancy needed to semi-plane... desired in a fast running Chesapeake fishing boat. |
