Define scapping and sistering with respect to boats. 1 point each

Scapping is fishing for soft shell crabs with a simple long pole net.

Sistering is reinforcing a weak part by attaching a stronger one
alongside. On a boat its sometimes used to describe a new frame
placed alongside a cracked frame.
