Well played, Brad!

Do you know if the stern post, keel, and knee of the head tapered in breadth like on English ships? The dimensions are given in the scantlings for the Establishments, Steel, and contracts for English ships but I wonder if this kind of information is available for French ships.
Thanks Brad.

The Boudroit plans show a significant taper on the knee of the head, which I included. I haven't seen any tapering of the stern post or keel in the drawings.

3rd redo of the Stern Cant frames completed!!!!
Turn of the bilge frame spacers were also added.
The entire interior is faired and sanded.
Will oil the interior this weekend.

Longitudinal stiffeners at the top of the frames were added, both inboard and outboard. She is very solid now, so sanding the outside can begin soon. 5lbs of copper bullets keep the keel from hogging !
