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.


1 pt. See Joe's post. :-)

Actually "scabbing" is sometimes used for scapping, so my answer holds.

However, since you mention scabs with sistering, I'm guessing you mean
the little sister plates you might use to form a "t" or to join
timbers. You see them on house trusses. On a boat they might be used
to join a two part frame.

So how many points do you lose for getting the term wrong?
