zenjay Posted September 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 thanks it kind of is, im looking forba pic of a bow before its skinned , i followed the book and lofting of the bow , its only got a cut out forba top stringer and not the keel plus its about 2 ft long so im just wanting to know if i followed directions right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
even-keeled Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 It is 2' long. Here's how I did it. I lofted for the lower stringer cutout using these coords: (0,1)(2 30/32,1 3/32)(3,3/16). The top of this cutout changed slightly in angle to meet the stringer without preload. A tiny step will then need sanding to meet the curve of the bow. My Poco had gaps where lashings are struggling to hold the bow and stern to the lower stringer. This is the remedy. Also, confirm that the distance between the lofted top and bottom stringer cutouts is the same where the bow meets frame 13. This assembly is laser-cut. Round lightening holes would be more practical when following the instructions. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo619 Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Wow! That’s a great looking bow assembly. I’ve only just finished a quarter scale model of the curlew, and mine didn’t look that good. Thank you even-keeled for the beautiful pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
even-keeled Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I wondered if anyone would notice the 1/8 ply. It's a 1/4 scale prototype for my daughter's full size Curlew. The bow and stern assemblies tab together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
