Scarfing the chine

29 December 2014

Scarfing the chine.  A line only a boat builder would ever utter.  I've never done any scarfing, but a little reading suggested that a 1:8 ratio was right.  I have a 3/4 inch thick fir chine, so I made the cut 6 inches on my band saw.  The edge of the chine is quite narrow, so I clamped a 2x4 on before cutting it.


Epoxying the two pieces for the port and starboard chines.
