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

Neither term is really specific to boats. Scapping is the use of a long handled
net for crabbing, and sistering is construction reinforcement where you attach
an additional timber to an existing one to add strength.

Correct, I sistered my ceiling joists in order to create a room in my
attic and by the act of "sistering" they could bear the live loads as
floor joists.
