It also follows very old design ideas. the design dates from when it was impossible to build a boat with a watertight meeting of the ends of planks. Therefore, if one bent the planks around and up so that they met above the waterline, you didn't have to worry so much about taking on water. A good point, but Doug won't like it. Cheers |
