A Few Thing To Remember


A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER

(1) The First Guy to build a boat did not know how either.

(2) There are three ways of doing a thing, the Right Way, The Wrong way, and the way that works. Right and wrong can can be debated but only the result can tell you if it works.

(3) The only people who succeed are the ones who are to dumb to know they can't.

What do you mean saying I can't do it I just did.

(4) Don't wait to get started. Nothing has ever gotten done tomorrow.

The best way to get result is to do something

Sea Galilee Boat

      This is a wonderful model I found online and would like more info on how the hull was laid up.

The Model is based on a book




       The original







The Model
      
          Notwithstanding the wonderful craftsmanship of this model, from what little I know about boats I have the impression that this model is rigged to sail backwards.  The stern looks like a bow and the skeg is on the narrow bow.


      Allowing for the style of Rudder Oar being in common use around the world for both steering and sculling or for a style oar used in the far east, both styles would be well served by a deck at the narrow end that came forward enough to allow for a man to stand and work.  Trying to make it work as it is rigged is awkward for me. but I did not read the book.

           
            The Boat of Sea the Galilee is a larger boat and would profit by it's larger bow section by bring home a larger catch than this example in use today in the Mekong delta today..





We are all in this boat together

    Glad you liked the model. The skeg you refer to is a "cutwater" and was common on ancient sailing vessels (biremes ...). The interesting part about the construction is that the ancient vikings and Sea of Galilee builders both built their hulls by joining plank to plank and then installed the internal frames after the hull was together. The exact opposite of what we are more familiar with (lay up frames and plank them).
